INITIAL STEP - Charge it: On the bottom of the sensor, pry open the
rubber cover to reveal the Micro USB Port. Use the included micro
USB cable to connect the sensor to a USB port or a USB charger (such
as PS-2575). If the cable is connected to a USB port, the Battery LED
shines yellow to show that the battery is charging. When the battery
is charged, the Battery LED shines green. If the cable is connected to
a USB charger, the Battery LED shines yellow and the Bluetooth sta-
tus LED blinks red to indicate that the sensor is ready to connect to a
device (such as a computer or tablet).
1. Make the Connection: Start the PASCO data collection software.
• For USB connection to a USB port: Make sure the USB cable is
connected. In SPARKvue: Click or Touch the “Sensor Data” icon in
the Welcome Screen. In PASCO Capstone, select ‘Hardware Setup”
and check that the sensor appears in the “Hardware Setup” window.
• For Bluetooth connection: If the sensor is not already on, press
the ON button at the top of the sensor to turn it on. (NOTE: The following procedure also works if the sensor is connected to a USB charger.) In
SPARKvue: Touch or Click the Sensor Data icon in the Welcome Screen. In the “Connected Devices” list, select the correct address that matches
the XXX-XXX Device ID number found on the sensor. Select a measurement, and then select a “Template” to open a data display. In PASCO
Capstone, select “Hardware Setup” in the “Tools” palette. Select the desired sensor type that matches the Device ID XXX-XXX number on the
sensor. Close the “Hardware Setup” window.
2. Set Up the Sensor: Arrange the sensor with the included syringe holder, syringe, and drop dispenser so that drops will pass through the Drop
Window into a receptacle below.
3. Collect Data: In SPARKvue, Select the “Start” button. In PASCO Capstone: Select a display, set up the measurement in the display, and select
“Record”. 4. Analyze the Data: Use the PASCO Data Collection software (SPARKvue or Capstone) to interpret the data.
