Product Summary
The SPARK LXi2 Datalogger is PASCO’s newest all-in-one device for data logging, data display, and data analysis. Don’t risk damaging your school computer during hands-on experiments! With the LXi2, you are in control of the technology in your classroom. Designed for a wet-lab environment, the LXi2 is portable, durable, and splash-proof.
The LXi2 has four virtual ports for Wireless Sensors, two physical ports for PASPORT sensors, and two ports for the included Voltage Probe and Fast Response Temperature Probe. It is also compatible with the SPARKlink® Air and the 550 Universal Interface.
Connect your LXi2 to the internet and enjoy automatic software updates for smooth-sailing in your classroom. The units come ready-to-use with pre-installed data logging software, which includes SPARKvue, Spectrometry, and Matchgraph!
We kept your institution’s cyber-security and IT department in mind when we developed the LXi2 as a closed environment. Gone are the days when students sneak games onto school-owned devices. The LXi2 eliminates distractions and focuses their attention on labs.
Assigned lab homework but need to keep the LXi2 at school? It’s easy to export data via USB or Bluetooth to compatible receptacles like external hard drives, laptops, smartphones and more.
