Introduction
SPARKlink is a sensor interface with two ports to accept PASPORT sensors. It comes with a Temperature Probe and a Voltage Probe as well as a USB cable for connecting the interface to a computer running PASCO Data Acquisition Software (for example, SPARKvue or PASCO Capstone). The built-in temperature and voltage ports and included probes enable measurement right out of the box with no additional sensors. The USB Connection Light Emitting Diode (LED) on the top label lights up when the interface is connected to a USB port.
SPARKlink works with PASCO Data Acquisition Software running on your computer to collect data for display and analysis.
