5. Installing the KSV SPOT 

 
Make  sure  that  all  parts  needed  to  install  KSV  SPOT  have  been  received.  Use  the  checklist 
below. 
 

 

KSV SPOT measuring head 

 

Counter electrode made of stainless steel 

 

Stand for SPOT  

 

Cable for connecting the measuring head and counter electrode (crocodile clip – RCA 
cable) 

 

15-pin device cable for connecting SPOT measuring head to LayerBuilder unit 

 

CD-ROM  disk  for  installing  the  SpotMonitor  software  and  User’s  Manual  in  pdf 
format 

 
 

5.1. Installation steps 

 
The  KSV  SPOT  measuring  head  is  controlled  by  a  Window  2000/XP/Vista  compatible 
software. 
 

5.1.1. KSV SPOT software 

 
The SpotMonitor software is supplied on a CD-ROM disk. Load the software onto the desired 
drive using normal Windows procedures.  
NOTICE! This software needs to be installed only if the KSV SPOT is intended to be used as 
a stand-alone unit. 
 
If  the  KSV  SPOT  is intended  to  be  used  in  combination  with  KSV´s  monolayer  troughs  the 
software  for  controlling  the  KSV  SPOT  will  be  integrated  in  the  LB  software.  In  this  case 
there  is  no  need  to  install  KSV  SPOT  Monitor  software.  Measurement  procedures  will  be 
described in section 6.2. 
 

5.1.2. Connecting cables 

 
The KSV SPOT measuring head is connected to the LayerBuilder Unit with 15-pin cable and 
to the counter electrode with a crocodile clip - RCA cable. The image below shows where the 
15-pin cable and the crocodile clip – RCA cable should be connected.
