Advanced Systems & Designs, 500-20-USB-GP-1, GageMux USB 2-Port Gage Interface with GagePort GP-2102NT Emulation
2-Port GageMux® USB Gage Interface
Has GagePort GP-2102NT Emulation
If you are looking to replace a GagePort GP-2102NT, this is the product for you! The Advanced Systems & Designs 2-Port GageMux USB with GagePort Emulation has revolutionized data collection and storage. In the past you had no option but to use a GageTalker GagePort NT. But now-if you use GE CimWorks Visual SPC, or Proficy ShopFloor, and need to connect to updated USB COM ports on today's computers, Advanced Systems & Designs has developed a version of GageMux USB multiplexer to emulate the GagePort GP-2102NT. This GageMux is easily configured to use the RS232 9-pin output-like the GP2102NT. The GagePort GP-2102NT defaults to Mitutoyo Digimatic output, so Mitutoyo gages with Mitutoyo cables work perfectly with this version of GageMux. When Visual SPC or Proficy ShopFloor opens on your computer, it reads the GageMux as if it is a GagePort GP-2102NT.
Best of all if you decide to switch to a different SPC software package in the future, this GageMux USB is also compatible with those packages as well.
Setup is simple and user friendly - your computer automatically installs the USB driver when the GageMux is plugged into your computer USB port-just plug and play! If you choose to use the GageMux as a RS232 9-pin output device, simply change the internal switch settings, connect a serial cable (not included), and the GageMux will send data to your computer RS232 COM port. No need for additional drivers or external cable converters.
