Data recording
The following tasks describe how to record a data run with SPARK SLS in periodic sampling
mode and manual sampling mode. Over the course of a science investigation, you can record
multiple data runs and sets.

Recording a run of periodically sampled data
With SPARK in periodic sampling mode (the default mode, sometimes known as “continuous”
mode), complete these steps to record a data run:
1. Touch the Start button.
You can press one of the record buttons instead of touching the on-screen Start button.
SPARK creates a new data run and starts recording data points into it.
2. To stop recording data, touch the Stop button.
You can press one of the record buttons instead of touching the on-screen Stopbutton.
SPARK stops recording data.
Repeat these steps to record another data run.
Recording a set of manually sampled data
To record manually sampled data, first put SPARK into manual sampling mode. See
