SPARKvue

Software Help

See the SPARKvue Help for information about collecting, 
displaying, and analyzing data. 

In SPARKvue, select the HELP button (

) in any 

screen, including the Home Screen.

Connect the Sensor

In SPARKvue, select the Bluetooth icon. In 
the 

Wireless Devices

 list that opens, select 

the desired sensor that matches the 
XXX-XXX Device ID number on the sensor. 
Select Done.

Collect Data

In SPARKvue, select a measurement from the list 
under the sensor in the Home Screen. A graph of the 
measurement versus time opens. 

Select the Start button to begin collecting data.

PASCO Capstone

Software Help

See the PASCO Capstone Help for information about 
collecting, displaying, and analyzing data. 

In PASCO

 

Capstone, select 

PASCO Capstone Help

 

from the 

Help

 menu, or press 

F1

.

Connect the Sensor

In PASCO

 

Capstone, click 

Hardware Setup

 in the 

Tools

 palette to confirm that the sensor is recognized. 

Select the desired sensor in the 

Hardware Setup

 

window that matches the XXX-XXX Device ID number 
on the sensor. Close the 

Hardware Setup

 window.

Collect Data

In PASCO Capstone, select a display in the main 
window. In the display, use the 

<Select 

Measurement>

 menu(s) to set up the desired 

measurement in the display.

Select 

Record

 to begin collecting data.

Collecting Data

1.

Rinse the end of the pH Probe with distilled water.

2.

Immerse the end of the pH Probe in the solution to be 
measured. The bulb-shaped glass membrane should 
be entirely immersed.

3.

Press or click start or record to begin recording data.

4.

Wait for the reading to stabilize.

5.

Rinse the end of the pH Probe again before placing it in 
another solution.

Calibration

Calibration is not always necessary, especially if you are 
measuring a change in pH rather than absolute pH values. 
However, the pH Sensor can be calibrated. For detailed 
theory of calibration, see Appendix B at the end of the 
document.

Battery Usage

The Wireless pH Sensor includes a 3 V coin cell battery 
(CR2032). Battery life is very important in making the 
sensor simple and always ready to use, so all of the 
PASCO wireless products are designed for long battery life. 
For example, the sensor turns itself off after a short time of 
inactivity. 

We expect more than one year of battery life, but the actual 
amount depends on factors such as the data collection 
sampling rate. 

Sensor Storage

If the sensor will be stored for many months, we 
recommend that you remove the battery to avoid damaging 
the sensor in case of a battery leak. 

Battery Removal and Replacement 

If the sensor’s battery status LED blinks red, the battery 
may need to be replaced. Replacing the small, disk-shaped 
battery involves removing the Battery Compartment Door 
on the bottom of the sensor, removing the old battery, 
installing a new battery of the same type, and replacing the 
Battery Compartment Door. The procedure needs a coin 
and a CR2032 three volt battery. (NOTE: This battery is 
commonly available in electronic and commercial stores.)
