LabVIEW Software for Go! Devices

The Vernier Go! Devices include the Go! Motion, Go!Temp, and Go! Link. We have created these devices as a very low-cost, easy to use, USB data-acquisition solution. Now we are very excited to be introducing sample LabVIEW VIs for the Go! Devices. This provides a way for you to use these very inexpensive sensors to introduce programming, data acquisition, data analysis, engineering and science concepts - all with real data collected by the user.

The sample programs for the Go! Devices will run on Macintosh OS X or Windows computers using LabVIEW 7.x.

Please follow the three easy steps below to get started on using LabVIEW with Go!

Step 1 - Getting Started Documentation

The following documents were created to help you learn how to program the Go! devices.

ReadMe

The readme text file included with the Go! Toolkit.

Step 2 - Download the Go! Toolkit

Use these Express VIs and sub VIs to run the example VIs and as the building blocks to design your own customized Go! LabVIEW programs.

Go! Toolkit

You must download the Toolkit first, before running examples. Be sure to read the included readme file for installing the toolkit on your computer.

Step 3 - Download Example VIs

Once you have downloaded the Go! Toolkit, you are ready to look at some examples. We have samples for beginners and programs to help you continue on. All example VIs require LabVIEW 7.x.

Program	Description
Go! Learning LabVIEW	Learning the basics of LabVIEW programming, in conjunction with collecting real data, enhances the learning experience and makes it easy to see the possibilities of creating your own custom programs.
Go! QuickStart	These examples demonstrate how to program the major functions of our Go! devices, such as initializing, configuring, collection, and closing the device.

Now you're ready to program virtual instruments for the Go! Devices.
