Questions about Logger Pro Releases
Who should update to 3.8.6.1?
While we would always recommend you update to the latest version of Logger Pro, we understand that updating your school computers can be a challenge. Update your software if you are using any of the newly supported products since your installed version of Logger Pro was released. See the new features list for those products. You must update to at least Logger Pro 3.8.2 if you use the Vernier LabQuest Mini.
If you intend to use the Polarimeter (Chemical), Diffraction Apparatus, or Vernier Projectile Launcher with a LabQuest Mini, we strongly recommend you update to 3.8.6.1 to upgrade the LabQuest Mini firmware.
Logger Pro 3.8.5 or newer is required for LabQuest 2.
Why are there new Logger Pro releases?
We continually improve Logger Pro, adding new features and support for new hardware. Even if you don’t use the new hardware, the new features (and a few bug fixes!) may be of interest to you. Besides, all updates from any version of Logger Pro 3 are free.
