Getting started with SPARKvue

SPARKvue is a tool for data analysis that facilitates experimentation through use of

sensors. It enhances the development of critical thinking skills and the generation of new

lines of research from data capture and its digitization for study and analysis.

Benefits in education

Allows data collection through sensors for the study of science and math concepts.

Simplifies data analysis through graphical and other functions.

Facilitates the comparison of data and results for study and understanding.

Reduces the amount of investment on expensive laboratory equipment.

Facilitates use of competitive tools for data analysis in various disciplines like biology, natural sciences,

chemistry, physics, etc.

Establishes the relationship of phenomena from hypothetical scenarios.

Helps with monitoring and changing conditions of experiment approach from different perspectives.

a. Periodic sampling mode is the default mode, also known as “continuous” mode. If you choose the

Periodic sampling mode, follow the steps 3 to 5.

b. In Manual sampling mode, a single value from each measurement is recorded each time you

manually trigger SPARKvue. A series of values is recorded in a data set. If you choose this mode,

jump to step number 5.
