Logger Pro<\/i> and Logger Lite are no longer receiving updates.<\/strong>
Most older versions of these programs can no longer be distributed due to driver licensing.<\/p>\n

Logger Pro<\/em> 3 and Logger Lite have had many different versions over the years. Vernier has added support for many new interfaces and Microsoft has released new versions of Windows. While there are versions of the software fully supporting Windows XP through Windows 11, earlier versions may not support newer operating systems and newer versions may not support older operating systems. <\/p>\n

Sensors with an order code ending in BTA or BTD are not mentioned here. They usually have a minimum version as well, although they can often be made to work on older versions. Go Direct Sensors with order codes starting with GDX (with the exception of spectrometers) do not work with Logger Pro<\/em> or Logger Lite.<\/p>\n

A chart of which version number of Logger Pro<\/em> is recommended for each operating system is available on the FAQs on the following web page:
