Logger Lite Set up
The Go!Motion Sensor will work when synced to a computer installed with Logger Lite.

Step 1 Installing the software:
In order to sync Go!Motion to a computer, the Vernier Logger Lite or Logger Pro software must be installed. Please make sure that the required software is installed on the computer before continuing.

Step 2 Connecting Go!Motion:
The instructions for syncing Go!Motion to a computer is similar to the LabQuest set up instructions. The flat rectangular shaped side of the USB needs to be connected to a USB port on the computer instead of being connected to the LabQuest. Once the sensor has been connected to the computer Logger Lite should open automatically. If it does not open, open it manually through the programs menu on your computer.

The other end of the USB needs to stay connected to the Go!Motion sensor.

Step 3 Collecting data:
There is only once viewing screen in Logger Lite. The default view displays the table and graph on one screen. You will have a graphical and tabular view of your data as you record. Once in Logger Lite you can begin collecting data by clicking on the green collect button or by pressing F11. To stop recording, click the green collect button or press F11.

Viewing/Data Collection Options
Many of the options needed to view data or make changes to the way data are collected is pinned to the menu bar. Changes can be made to the graph or table by either clicking on the item you would like to change or by right clicking anywhere on the screen. You could also make changes and access option menus by using the tabs on the menu bar.
