The method to detect droplet transfer by means of arc spectrum, while the experiment sets, testing principle and data processing procedure,are presented. The experiment and analysis results show that arc spectrum signal can be utilized to detect and measure the transfer procedure, the transfer modes and the transfer parameters. The arc spectrum signal enjoys excellent quality with high signal amplitude. Each transfer mode has its specific typical signal mode, and the pulse outline corresponds to an integrated transferring procedure of one droplet. All these features of arc spectrum signal can be easily applied hi the control of transfer procedure,the identification and stabilization of transfer mode and the measurement of transfer parameters.
