Using LabVIEW with Vernier LabQuest mini's and Mac

[ardy97]

I would like to use LabVIEW to collect data from LabQuest mini devices that we currently use for out intro physics lab course. I am able to get it working fairly easily on windows computers however the computers we currently use in the lab are mac's. Is this possible? I can install LabVIEW on the macs but it seems like the required drivers for the mini devices is incompatible. Has anyone else ever done this before?

Have you checked and followed this page? https://www.vernier.com/downloads/labview-virtual-instrument-downloads/labquest-interfaces/

There seem to be some differences between how this works in Windows and Mac OSX and one notable mention for all versions except the latest for LabVIEW 2021 is the sentence: 

• This virtual instrument is not supported on macOS Catalina

So you need to install the right driver for the right LabVIEW version and be on the right Mac OSX version too.
