While Logger <i>Pro<\/i> and Logger Lite can&#8217;t connect to the Go Direct sensors, they can connect to the other hardware that is compatible with Graphical Analysis. To prevent confusion between the apps, we only allow one program to connect to sensors at a time. The other programs will not attempt to connect while something else is running. If Logger <i>Pro<\/i> or Logger Lite is running and the Go Direct Sensors aren&#8217;t displaying in Graphical Analysis, Logger <i>Pro<\/i> or Logger Lite is probably the program on the computer that is allowed to communicate to the sensors. To fix this you need to quit Logger <i>Pro<\/i>\/Logger Lite and Graphical Analysis, and then restart Graphical Analysis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This issue can also be caused by a bad battery in the Go Direct sensor.
