Adjust preferences

Adjust global preferences for SPARKvue.

The Preferences menu controls various global settings for SPARKvue, allowing you to configure the program to your liking. Preferences can be accessed by clicking Main Menu on any screen and selecting Preferences... from the list.

Preferences Menu

The following settings can be controlled from the Preferences menu:

  • Show Only Current Graph Run When Recording

    When enabled, this setting causes SPARKvue to automatically hide all previous runs when a new run begins. Disable this setting to force SPARKvue to display all currently visible runs during data collection.

  • Enable Analytics

    When this setting is enabled, SPARKvue will send anonymous usage statistics to PASCO to better understand how features are used and inform decisions about future software improvements.

  • Geiger Counter Beeps

    When enabled, this setting stops SPARKvue from suppressing the beeping of connected Wireless Geiger Counters. Turn this setting to Off to mute the sound of connected Geiger counters.

  • Graphics Hardware Acceleration

    Disable this option to prevent the screen from flickering when using SPARKvue on certain older computers.

    Note

    This option only appears when running SPARKvue on Windows.
