PS-2009
Introduction
SPARKlink is a sensor interface with two ports to accept
PASPORT sensors and a USB connection to a computer running
SPARKvue software. The built-in temperature and voltage probe
ports and included probes enable measurement right out of the
box with no additional sensors.
SPARKlink works with SPARKvue software running on you
computer to collect data for display and analysis.
Connecting SPARKlink to your
computer
1. Connect the included USB cable to the USB port on the back
of the SPARKlink.
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to a USB port on
your computer.
3. Start SPARKvue. (If necessary, install SPARKvue on your
computer.)
Note: SPARKlink includes a port for external power, however it is not
necessary for operation because power is supplied from the computer
through the USB cable.
