NOTES: 

Note1: Do not confuse our Go Direct line of devices with our Go! line of devices ("Go! Temp", "Go! Motion", and "Go! Link"). These are different devices and have separate LabVIEW support.

Note2: For users of SensorDAQ and LabQuest, we have a free e-book that introduces NI LabVIEW programming through a series of hands-on exercises using a temperature sensor and microphone. Find this at:
  https://www.vernier.com/product/hands-on-introduction-to-ni-labview-with-vernier/

Note3: The LabQuest devices require a driver when running on a Windows computer. Installing our free Graphical Analysis software will install this driver.

Note4: This download includes support for the new LabQuest 3 as well as a new Express VI for Go Direct devices.

SUMMARY: 

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

You will need to manually move the appropriate files into your LabVIEW directory. 

These files support the 32-bit version of LabVIEW 2020, as well as the 64-bit version of LabVIEW 2020. Determine what version of LabVIEW you are using.

If you are using 32-bit, the LabVIEW directory is usually C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2020 

If you are using 64-bit, the LabVIEW directory is usually C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2020

INSTRUCTIONS: 

1. Extract/Unzip 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 Go Direct", "Vernier Go!", "Vernier LabQuest", and "Vernier SensorDAQ" into your LabVIEW 2020\menus\Categories directory.

5. Inside the download, locate the folder representing your version of LabVIEW and open this folder. For example, if you are using 32-bit LabVIEW 2020, then you would open "LV 2020 32-bit".

6. Open the folder called "examples".

7. Move the folder called "Vernier" into the LabVIEW 2020\examples directory. 

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

9. Move the folder called "Vernier" into the LabVIEW 2020\vi.lib directory.


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

Browse back to the LabVIEW 2020\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.
