Connect a sensor to Chemvue

Connect a Wireless or PASPORT sensor to the program.

Wireless Sensors

Most PASCO Wireless Sensors can be connected to Chemvue via either Bluetooth or a USB connection. Follow the steps below for your preferred method.

  1. From any page, select the Wireless Devices button from the Navigation Bar to open the Wireless Devices menu.
  2. Turn on the sensor. The sensor's Bluetooth Status LED should begin blinking red to indicate that it is ready to connect to the software.

  3. From the Wireless Devices menu, select the sensor with the device ID matching the one printed on your sensor. The Bluetooth Status LED on your sensor should begin to flash green to indicate a successful connection.

    Connect a Wireless Sensor

  1. Turn on the sensor. The sensor's Bluetooth Status LED should begin blinking red to indicate that it is ready to connect to the software.
  2. Using the micro USB cable provided with the sensor, connect the sensor to a USB port or powered USB hub on your computing device. The sensor will automatically connect to Chemvue and the Bluetooth Status LED will turn off.

Note

Not all Wireless Sensors can be connected to software via USB. Check the manual for your chosen sensor to see whether or not it supports USB connection.

The sensor will now be listed under Connected Devices in the Wireless Devices menu.

PASPORT Sensors

Note

Connecting a PASPORT Sensor to the interface will require a PASPORT interface, such as the AirLink (PS-3200), 550 Universal Interface (UI-5001), or SPARK LXi2 Datalogger (PS-3600B).

  1. Turn on your PASPORT interface.

  2. Connect your interface to Chemvue via USB or Bluetooth as applicable.

    For interfaces requiring a USB connection, such as the 850 Universal Interface (UI-5000), connect the included USB cable from the interface to a USB port or powered USB hub connected to your computer.

    For wireless interfaces, such as the AirLink Interface (PS-3200):

    1. From any page, select the Wireless Devices button to open the Wireless Devices menu.
    2. Turn on the wireless interface.
    3. From the list of available wireless devices, select the interface with the device ID matching the one printed on your interface.

  3. Plug the PASPORT sensor into the connected interface. Chemvue will automatically detect and recognize the sensor.

To disconnect a PASPORT sensor from Chemvue, simply unplug the sensor from the interface.
