The objective of the first stage of the SPARC commissioning was the optimization of the RF-gun setting that best matches the design working point and a detailed study of the emittance compensation process providing the optimal value of emittance at the end of the linac. For this purpose an innovative beam diagnostic, the emittance-meter, consisting of a movable emittance measurement system, was conceived and built. More than a simple improvement over conventional, though non-trivial, beam diagnostic tools this device defines a new strategy for the characterization of new high performance photo-injectors. The emittance meter allows to measure at different location along the beamline the evolution of important beam parameters both in longitudinal and in the transverse phase space such as beam sizes, energy spread and rms transverse emittances in a region where the space-charge effect dominate the electron dynamics. The quality and the amount of the data allowed a clear reconstruction of the phase space evolution. We report also the first experimental observation of the double emittance minima effect on which is based the optimized matching with the SPARC linac
