*Logging: PASCO wireless sensors can either stream
live data to a compatible device for “real-time” viewing or
log data (save it to the sensor’s memory). After logging,
the data can be uploaded to the computing device for
display and analysis at a later time. Logging capability
supports long-term or remote data collection while not
connected to a device.
Check the PASCO Web page at:
www.pasco.com/software
for the latest software version.
Set Up the Hardware
Connecting the Shrouded Test Leads to the
Sensor
•
Connect the boot-shaped shrouded end of the red
test lead to the red voltage jack on the front end of
the sensor.
•
Connect the end of the black test lead to the black
voltage jack on the sensor.
Connecting the Sensor for Measurement
Voltage is measured from one point to another point. For
example, voltage is measured “across” a component in a
circuit. The sensor is connected in parallel to the circuit;
not in series as a part of the circuit.
For example, in the diagram, the alligator clip of the red
test lead is connected to one end of a resistor that is in a
circuit with a battery. The alligator clip of the black test
lead is connected to the other end of the resistor. The
Wireless Voltage Sensor measures the “voltage drop”
across the resistor.

SPARKvue
Connecting the Wireless Sensor to a Tablet or a
Computer via Bluetooth
•
For SPARKvue, select the Bluetooth icon to open
the Wireless Devices list. In the Wireless Devices
list, the sensors are ordered by proximity to the
device.
•
Select the correct address that matches the
XXX-XXX number found on the sensor.
