NOTES:

Note1: Go Direct sensors have been successful running LabVIEW 2018 on MacOS 10.13.X, but unsuccessful on 10.14.X. Testing has not been done yet with LabVIEW 2019 or 2020.

Note2: GDX refers to Go Direct sensors. This is different than Go! devices, which include the Go! Temp, Go! Motion, and Go! Link.

SUMMARY:

The files from the download will allow you to communicate with your Vernier GDX (Go Direct) sensors, LabQuest devices and Go! devices with LabVIEW. 

These files support the 64-bit versions of LabVIEW 2018 or newer for Mac OS.

You will need to manually move the appropriate files into your LabVIEW directory. The LabVIEW directory is usually Applications>National Instruments>LabVIEW 20XX 64-bit.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Extract the downloaded zip file. This contains the folders that you are going to move into your LabVIEW directory.

2. Inside the download, locate a folder called "Common" and open this folder.

3. Open the folder called "menus Categories".

4. Move the folders called "Vernier GDX", "Vernier Go!", and “Vernier LabQuest" into your LabVIEW 20XX 64-bit>menus>Categories directory.

5. Inside the download, locate the “LV 20XX 64-bit” folder and open it.

6. Open the folder called "examples".

7. Move the folder called "Vernier" into the LabVIEW 20XX 64-bit>examples directory. 

8. Open the folder called "vi.lib".

9. Move the folder called "Vernier" into the LabVIEW 20XX 64-bit>vi.lib directory.


Once you have moved the files from the download into the three LabVIEW directories (examples, menus>Categories, and vi.lib) you are ready to try some examples and make sure things are working.

Browse back to the LabVIEW 20XX 64-bit>example directory to find the "Vernier" folder. Open the "Vernier" folder and then browse to see all the available examples. Find a good example to run. Open the example with LabVIEW, run it, and test that your hardware is working properly.
