Product Summary
The SPARK LX Air Datalogger is PASCO’s slimmed-down all-in-one device for data logging, display, and analysis. Don’t risk damaging your school computer during hands-on experiments! With the LX Air, you control the technology in your classroom. Designed for a wet-lab environment, the LX Air is portable, durable, and splash-proof.
The LX Air can connect to up to 5 Wireless Sensors at once. It is also compatible with the SPARKlink® Air and the 550 Universal Interface. Make sure the devices are connected to the local internet to enjoy automatic software updates and annual student data purging for smooth-sailing in your classroom. The units come ready-to-use with pre-installed data logging software, including SPARKvue®, Chemvue®, Spectrometry, and MatchGraph!
We kept your institution’s cyber-security and IT department in mind when we developed the LX Air as a closed environment. Gone are the days when students sneak onto internet browsing or playing games on school-owned devices. The LX Air eliminates distractions and focuses student attention on collecting data and their science investigation tasks.
