4. START USING THE EQUIPMENT
4.1 Starting up the device
Remove the protective film from the measurement
head window. Leaving the film will interfere meas-
urement.
4.2 Software functionality and pages
The following chapters will discuss each page of the
software – Main Page, Settings Page, and Test Page
– and their functions.
“Measure” button on the Main Page will start the
measurement. It is also possible to start the meas-
urement directly by pressing any of the buttons on
the measuring head handles. For more information
on taking the measurement, read Chapter 5.
4.2.1 Software – Main Page
The Main Page of the software entails the follow-
ing functions: A place to add user comments, the
choice between measuring double or triple glazed
units and showing obtained results.
1. In the box labelled “User Comment” you can
write text to be added with your measurement
result using the on-screen keyboard found in
the Windows Taskbar. This information is saved
to the file together with your results. This box
can be filled automatically using the barcode
reader.
2. Double glass measurement is set as a default for
Sparklike Laser analyser, this can be observed
from the “Double IG” indicator being green. It is
possible to measure also triple glazed products.
To measure triple glazed units, slide down the
button on the left-hand side of the Main Page.
Once this is done, the “Triple IG” indicator lights
up. The default settings can be found in the im-
age representing the Main Page with the de-
fault setting.
3. Pressing the “Measure” button will initiate
the measurement. During the measurement,
the “Measuring” indicator is blinking. After
the measurement has been completed, the
“Ready” indicator is lit, and you will see your
measurement results on the right-hand side of
the screen.
(continues on next page)
Main page

4. In the middle of the page, you will also be able
to observe the results on the thickness of the
glass and the space between the glasses as
well as the total thickness of the IGU. You will
get this reading whilst your gas concentration
measurement is measured.
5. To return all the values back to default values,
press the “Reset” button or change the values
back manually. When pressing the “Reset” but-
ton it takes a few seconds to return all the val-
ues back to default.
The results are displayed once the measurement is
finished. When the gas measurement results are
over the high limit value, the green indicator will
light up on the Main Page next to the measured gas
concentration results. The limits for color indicators
can be defined on the Setting Page and the indica-
tors, green, yellow, or red, will light up accordingly
(instructions in the following chapter labelled Soft-
ware - Settings Page).
4.2.2 User interface – Settings Page
The Settings Page of the software entails the follow-
ing functions: defining glass and spacer thickness-
es (preset), setting measurement time, setting the
device for multiple sequential measurements, set-
ting the measurement result indicator limits, meas-
urement head inner oxygen concentration check,
and opening the daily measurement results.
Adding (1) pre-set values with “Glass” and “Spacer”
drop down boxes assists the software to identify the
correct glass and spacer thickness values and to
enable the measurement of glass and spacer thick-
nesses outside the software default values. It is rec-
ommended to use pre-set values if it seems that the
glass thicknesses are measured wrong. This may
happen, e.g., in the case of certain coated or lami-
nated glasses. As a default software identifies glass
thicknesses between 2 and 13 mm and spacer thick-
nesses from 6 to 25 mm. The device operator can set
glass thicknesses from 2 to 23 mm and spacer thick-
nesses from 4 to 40 mm. When using the pre-set
values via the drop-down boxes, the software identi-
fies the glass and cavities thicknesses in the ±1 mm
range from each given value. The glass and spacer
closest to the measurement device are “Glass 1” and
“Spacer 1”, the further glasses and spacer being se-
quentially “Glass 2”, “Spacer 2”, and “Glass 3”.
“Measurement time” (2) drop-down box indicates
the time to collect data from one cavity. This can be
adjusted between 2–5 seconds. The default time is
5 seconds. Longer measurement time is advised for
greater accuracy.
“Enable counter” and “Meas. count” (3) refer to
settings for making multiple measurements (dis-
cussed below in Section 5.3.1).
“High limit” and “Low limit” (4) refer to the desired
result range. For easy interpretation of the results,
there are three indicator lights next to the results,
featured on the Main Page of the software. To suit
their local requirements, the user can set these val-
ues via the Setting Page by adjusting the “High lim-
it” and “Low limit” values by clicking up or down or
by using the on-screen keyboard to type the desired
value. i) when the gas measurement results are over
the high limit value, the green indicator will light up,
ii) if the result is between high and low limit, the yel-
low indicator is lit, iii) and if the result is below the
low limit, the red indicator turns on.
To access the daily measurement results, click on
the Results “Open” button (5).
NOTE: Measurement results are shown on the
screen, but are simultaneously saved on your de-
vice, and can be accessed at Windows Explorer:
Computer\Local Disc(C:)\Temp\Results
“Flushing”, “Self check”, “Oxygen %”, and “Test
passed” (6) refer to purging oxygen from the meas-
urement head (discussed below in Section 5.1.2).
“Oxygen %” tells the measured O2 concentration
inside the measurement head in percent. “Test
passed” shows the last date the self-check has been
passed.
Settings page

4.2.3 Software – Test Page
The Test Page of the software provides the laser
temperature and current check function. The laser
component needs to be operated at the correct
temperature to yield highly accurate measurement
results. Incorrect temperature adjustment may
crash the software. This is discussed below in
Section 5.1.1.
5. TAKING A MEASUREMENT
5.1 Daily operations for temperature
check and gas fill
AT EVERY STARTUP: The operator should check
for temperature and oxygen concentration. This
ensures the correct operation of Sparklike Laser.
To ensure the quality of the measurements it is
recommendable that the operator checks the
oxygen concentration every two hours. Also, always
make sure the measuring head’s window surface is
clean. Clean the surface with a detergent made for
windows.
5.1.1 Temperature check
The laser component needs to be operated at
the correct temperature to yield highly accurate
measurement results. Let the device warm-up
with software running for 15-30 min. Incorrect
temperature adjustment might result in incorrect
measurement results or unexpected functions.
Take the following actions to test the temperature
adjustment whenever starting up the device.
Choose the “Test” page from the upper left corner
of the software. Press the “Laser I&R” button (the
indicator below the button starts blinking) and see
the following:
▶ “Laser I (mA)” should be 1,7–5,9 mA and “Laser R
(kOhm)” should be 5–17 kOhm). The values are
specific for each device, depending on the laser
source.
▶ Figures on the graph should be equally
spaced and between 30-70 points spacing
approximately. See test menu picture.
If these are correct, press STOP. The indicator below
the “Laser I&R” button stops blinking. If these do not
apply, see the troubleshooting section in Chapter
6.6.
NOTE: remember always to press STOP before
starting to use the laser or checking the oxygen
level in the measuring head.
Test page

5.1.2 Oxygen concentration check
Sparklike Laser is a gas fill analyser; however, it
measures the oxygen absorption from the insulating
glass unit. For correct readings, oxygen inside the
measuring head needs to be removed as well as
possible. This is done by flushing the measuring
head with e.g., argon, or nitrogen. These gases are
later referred as flushing gases.
NOTE: Separate flushing gas cylinder, gas hose,
regulator and flowmeter are needed in order to
complete the oxygen concentration check. These
equipment do not come with the device.
On the Settings Page, press “Self check” button.
The indicator below the button starts blinking and
the indicator light on the measurement head turns
yellow. The self-check will measure the oxygen
concentration inside the measuring head and show
the result on the box below the button. The operator
can begin to use the device if the result is below 0.1
%. If the oxygen concentration is higher than this,
the software gives a “Oxygen concentration > 0,1%.
Please flush the device (See manual for details)”
warning message and the indicator lights on the
measurment head turns red. The date for the last
successful self-check can be found in the “Test
passed” box on the Settings Page. If the result is over
0.1%, there is too much oxygen inside the measuring
head, and you should flush the device.
Flushing the oxygen from the measurement head
▶ Place the measuring head facing down on the
holder on the top of the case.
▶ The gas fill inlet is next to the power switch.
Attach the connector for the flushing gas hose
to the main unit. Join the flushing gas hose
(6x4mm).
▶ Apply dry and pure (> 99.99%) flushing gas flow
of 1–3 l/min (max 3 l/min and 1 bar)) to the hose.
▶ Press the “Flushing” button on the software
(light on the button will turn on). This will open
the internal valves and guide the flushing gas
flow through the measuring head. During the
filling, press “Self check” button to check the
concentration. On each check, you should see
the concentration to decrease. Continue filling
as long as the concentration does not go any
lower, and the selfcheck result is < 0,1 %. The
device can be used while the measuring head
is being flushed with a flushing gas. After you
have successfully removed the oxygen from the
measuring head by replacing it with a flushing
gas, press the “Flushing” button again to close
the valves (indicator turns off), and disconnect
the gas flow.
NOTE: Internal oxygen concentration can be tested
anytime via Settings Page by pressing the “Self
check” button. It is recommended to do this check
every two hours, or every time when suspecting
incorrect readings. For any problems, see the
troubleshooting section in Chapter 6.7.
5.2 Basic measurement
Choose “Double IG” or “Triple IG” from the Main
Page depending on which type of IGU you are go-
ing to measure.
Place the measuring head front cushion firmly
against the window. It is possible to start the device
in two alternative ways:
▶ Press the “Start” button directly on any of the
handles of the measuring head (see picture
below).
▶ Press the “Measure” button on the Main Page of
the software. Use only when the device is resting
on a horizontal surface (see picture: Main page).
The vacuum pump evacuates the air between the
measuring head and the glass to attach them tightly

together. If the vacuum is poor, the software will
give a warning message. When the measurement
is started the “measuring” led starts to blink on the
software. The indicator leds on the measuring head
will turn blue. Keep your hands on the handles (if the
device is not used on a horizontal surface).
The measurement takes about 18–28 seconds
depending on the settings and the window to be
measured.

Once the measurement is ready, the vacuum pump
stops, and the measuring head is released from the
glass. “Ready” led turns green and the results are
displayed on the Main Page.
5.3 Advanced measurement
5.3.1 Enable Counter
If you have enabled counter (Settings Page), signal
how many measurements you would like to take in
a row. First, select a number for the “Meas. count”
box by clicking up or down arrows, or by typing a
value with the onscreen keyboard. Use of “Meas.
count” is recommended only if measuring is made
on horizontal surfaces.
Then, if you press the “Enable counter” button,
multiple measurements are done in a sequence. A
green indicator is switched on.
NOTE: If the user has changed any of the following
default values: i) glass or spacer thickness ii)
measurement time or iii) counter state, the “Pre-
set Active” indicator on the Main Page turns green
when measuring. This reminds the user that the
measurement settings are different from the
default values. To return all the values back to
default values, press the “Reset” button on the Main
Page or change the values back manually. When
pressing the “Reset” button it takes a few seconds
to return all the values back to default.
5.3.2 Editing the default settings
You can edit the default values with normal
Windows editing applications such as Notepad.
Please note that editing the default settings is
on your own responsibility and Sparklike cannot
assure the measurement results.
1. Open the c:\temp\Settings.ini file
2. Change the corresponding values. Do this
with discretion to not interfere with the
operation of the device. Safe values to edit
are, e.g. High_limit and Low_limit for the
indicator lights on the Main page of Sparklike
Application. It is not recommended to edit
other values without consulting Sparklike
product support.
3. Save and close the file
4. Stop and restart the Sparklike Application to
use the new settings values.
5.4 Understanding the results
For triple glass units, the device measures first
the overall value of both cavities, then the 1st
cavity, and then based on these measured results,
calculates the gas content of the 2nd cavity.
Therefore, the results of the 2nd cavity can be
considered as indicative of what complements
the information of each cavity.
▶ See the insulating gas (such as argon, krypton,
or xenon) concentration on the result boxes
on the Main PagePress the “Measure” button
on the Main Page of the software.
▶ For a double glazed unit, only the “Cavity 1”
result is shown.
▶ For a triple glazed unit, all three results are
shown.
▶ “Cavity 1” is measured, and “Cavity 2” is a
calculated
▶ “Cavity 1&2 avg” is the overall gas fill and it
considers the thicknesses of both cavities
(weighted average).
Check that the glass and cavity dimensions
are what they should be. If they are not, see the
troubleshooting section in Chapter 6.8.

5.5 Factors to consider when measuring
Here is a list of factors that might impact the
measuring. Please read the whole manual carefully
to understand how the Laser device functions.
• Ensure the cleanliness of measured glass and
device window surfaces.
• Note that the maximum thickness is 51 mm
(DGU from surface 1 to 3 and TGU 1 to 5).
• Self-check is below 0,1 % of Oxygen.
• Let the device warm-up with software running
for 15-30 minutes and do not use the device.
The laser component needs to be operated
at the correct temperature to yield accurate
measurement results.
• Make sure vacuum suction holds the measuring
head tightly against the insulating glass to be
measured.
• Perform several measurements on the same
IGU and to the same spot and compare the
results. If most of the measurements are
consistent but there are exceptional results,
repeat the measurement. The exceptional
results might be measurement errors.
• If measured a glass with a special reflective
coating (e.g., Low-E), try measuring from the
non-coated side to get a better signal to the
sensor and more accurate results.
• Try to measure close to the spacer to avoid glass
arching because vacuum gripping can be more
difficult on arched glass. You can try to help
the vacuum by pressing the measuring head
against the glass firmly once the measurement
has started. If this does not help, firstly clean
the vacuum with a dry cloth. If that does not
help, secondly replace the vacuum seal to new
one which can be found from the spare parts.
• Ensure that measured results of glass
and spacer thicknesses are approximately
according to the expected thicknesses of the
measured IGU.
• Note that over 97 % gas filling might be difficult
to ensure due to extremely low concentration
of residual Oxygen to be detected.

6. TROUBLESHOOTING
6.1 Restarting the program
When starting the system, if the indicator leds on
the handles of the measuring head do not light up
(Chapter 3), restart the program by closing the win-
dow from the upper right corner.
Start the program by double-clicking the Laser soft-
ware icon on your desktop.
If the Windows freezes and you are unable to shut
down the device, press the power switch continu-
ously for a few seconds to force shut down the de-
vice. If this does not help, open the trolley case and
turn OFF the main switch inside the case, see pic-
ture.
6.2 DAQ identification error message
Check that Windows has a connection to the DAQ:
From Windows desktop press the “Start” icon >>
Windows System >> Control Panel >> Device Man-
ager. There should be Data Acquisition Devices >>
USB DAQ.
1. If the USB DAQ is found (This device is working
properly): Run the ResetNIConfig at C:\Program
Files (x86)\National Instruments\Shared\Reset
NI Config. After running ResetNIConfig it will
show you a warning message to which you select
YES. Then the program asks you to restart the
computer, select No and turn off the computer
from the windows operation system and then
turn it on from the power switch.
2. If the USB DAQ is not found: the device is inactive.
Check that the DAQ led on the connector panel
inside the case is on.
2.1 If DAQ led is on: the power supply for
the DAQ card is working. Then shut down
windows and after that, restart the device. If
this does not solve the problem, contact the
product support at Sparklike for instructions.
2.2 If DAQ led is off, contact the product
support at Sparklike for instructions.
6.3 Laser temp or current out of range
Check from the connector panel that the green-
labelled circular multipin connector is firmly
connected to the connector panel. Shut down the
Windows, wait 20 seconds before restarting the
device.
6.4 Drive error
Check from the connector panel that all the circular
multipin connectors are firmly attached. Shut down
the Windows, wait 20 seconds before restarting the
device.

6.5 Glass detection error message
If the “Glass Detection Error” message appears,
check that the pre-set glass and spacer values are
correct, the device is firmly against the glass, and
the device is not tilted. In these cases, the device
window may need to be cleaned. If that does not
help, shut down the Windows, and wait 20 seconds
before restarting the device.
If the above-mentioned actions do not work error
message is caused by the lack of the laser signal on
the detector. This is due to insufficient amount of
laser light passing the surfaces 1 or 2 on the IGU due
to coatings. Try measuring from anther side.
6.6 Adjusting the laser temperature
If the parameters and the graph on the daily
operations (Chapter 4.2) are incorrect, please try the
following actions:
▶ Let the device warm up for 15 minutes
▶ Press the “Stop” button and then “Laser I&R”
button on the Test page again to restart the
test process (see picture Test Page, Chapter
4.2.3.). If the readings or the graph are still
incorrect, restart the program (see Chapter
6.1. Restarting the program) and press
“Laser I&R” button again. See picture A for
reference.
▶ If this does not help, and the graph is
still not correct (between 30-70 dots
equal spacing), it means that the laser
temperature is incorrect and needs to be
adjusted: Try the self check function on
Settings Page. You will have an info screen
about laser temperature adjustment. See
the picture Peaks equally for the reference.
If the temperature of the laser has changed so much
that one cannot see the peaks in the Test page
“Laser I&R” test, one can fine-tune the temperature
as follows (Sparklike technical support can help you
on this).
1. Open the c:\temp\Settings.ini file with Windows
Notepad.
2. Change the value of the “T_fine_tune” variable.
Changing the value from 0 to 0,01 will move the
peaks to about 5 data points. Using a negative
value (-0,01) will move the peaks to the opposite
direction.
3. Save and close the file.
4. Open the laser software and run the “Laser I&R”
test from the “Test” page. The peaks should
have moved according to the value you’ve set
to the variable.
5. Increase the value as much as needed and try to
find a value where the peak spacing is close to
around 50 data points.
6. Check that the final “Laser R” value is close
(inside couple of hundred Ohms) to the
“Rvalue” mentioned in the “Settings.ini” -file. If
not, there could be another oxygen peak closer
to the original value but to the “other direction”
(negative or positive adjustment value).

6.8 Measurement problems
If unexpected inconsistent readings are received,
please check the following things:
▶ Laser temperature
▶ Internal oxygen concentration
▶ Vacuum suction holds the measuring head
tightly against the insulating glass to be
measured
▶ Glass and spacer thicknesses are
approximately according to the correct
expected thicknesses
▶ Try to measure close to the spacer.
▶ Do several measurements on the same
IGU and compare the results. If most of
the measurements are consistent but
there are exceptional results, repeat the
measurement. The exceptional results
might be measurement errors.
▶ If there is a special reflective coating (e.g.,
Low-E), try measuring from the non-coated
side to get a better signal to the sensor and
more accurate results.
▶ If the vacuum does not hold the measuring
head tightly against the glass, make
sure that the IG surface is not too bent to
avoid proper contact. You can try to help
the vacuum by pressing the measuring
head against the glass firmly once the
measurement has started. If this does not
help, replace the vacuum to new one which
can be foun dfrom the spare parts
▶ If glass or spacer thicknesses are shown
incorrectly, the measurement is taken from
the incorrect location and the results are
not correct. The device operator can try to
help the analysis by providing the pre-set
values to the drop-down menus for glass
and spacer thicknesses on the Settings
Page. When the operator provides this
information, the software can locate the
correct measurement locations more easily.
If the problems persist, please contact
[e-mail]. Also, please be
prepared to have the IG structure information,
coating characteristics available, and the
measurements data file.
6.7 Internal oxygen concentration
problems
Sparklike Laser is a gas fill analyser that works by
measuring the oxygen inside the glazing unit.
To ensure correct readings, oxygen needs to be
removed from inside the measuring head by
replacing it with argon or other flushing gas such
as xenon or nitrogen.
Internal oxygen concentration is tested from the
Settings Page on the software by pressing the “Self
check” button. When testing the internal oxygen
level or making the argon fill, the operator might
run into the following situations:
Internal oxygen concentration result does not go
below 0.1 %, as required. Normally the internal
oxygen concentration level should drop below 0.1%
within about 20 min of flushing time. If the oxygen
level settles to a value over 0.1% and does not go
any lower, please check that:
▶ the flushing gas is pure (>99.99% Argon)
▶ there is pressure and the flow rate is 1–3 l/
min (maximum 3 l/min!)
▶ “Flushing” button is enabled on the
software’s Settings Page
▶ turn the measuring head slowly upside
down a few times to help remove oxygen
(otherwise keep the measuring head
vertically on the holder)
▶ If all of these are OK, but the problem
persists, please contact sparklike@
sparklike.com for further assistance.
Internal oxygen concentration result drops
below 0.1%, but there is considerable variation
in “Self check” results. Once the result is very
low, around 0.01–0.05%, the operator might
see some variation in the “Self check” readings
so that some readings might be even > 0.1%.
This is normal, as the concentration is so low,
that sometimes the measurement noise can
cause variation. Important thing is that most
of the “Self check” measurements are < 0.1%,
as required.
