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

Recording a run of periodically sampled data
To record manually sampled data, first put SPARKvue into periodic sampling mode.
With SPARKvue in periodic sampling mode (the default mode, sometimes known as
“continuous” mode), complete these steps to record a data run:
1. Click the Start button.
SPARKvue creates a new data run and starts recording data points into it.
2. To stop recording data, click the Stop button.
SPARKvue stops recording data.
3. Repeat these steps to record another data run.
Recording a set of manually sampled data
To record manually sampled data, first put SPARKvue into manual sampling mode.
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.
Complete these steps to start a data set, trigger points to be recorded, and close the data
set:
1. Optionally, turn to a page in your SPARKlab where you will be able to see your
data in a table.
