Simplify your data acquisition system! This Advanced Systems & Designs - ASDQMS SmartCable USB Keyboard single gage interface with Excel compatible output connects the Checkline RX-DD, RX-DD-MS, DD-100 and MTG Series Digital Durometer and Thickness Gauges to a computer. Connects directly to the gage, no additional cables required. The output of the SmartCable Keyboard gage interface is a standard USB 2.0 keyboard signal.
Most gages are powered by batteries. This gage can obtain power directly from the ASDQMS SmartCable Keyboard or can use separate power (batteries) of its own. Our recommendation is to remove the batteries from the gage to prevent a future problem with battery corrosion.
Connecting the Advanced Systems and Designs SmartCable Keyboard with its built-in keyboard wedge to a computer will allow your Checkline digital gauge to be identified as a keyboard device that can Send data to any Microsoft Windows application - no complicated software wedge required. The SmartCable Keyboard gage interface will make the gauge readings appear as if they were typed in using a standard keyboard - eliminates SPC data collection errors. If you want to collect data into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet or any SPC program, simply select the cell where you want the data to appear.
Readings can be triggered by any of the following:
- Pressing the push button on the ASDQMS SmartCable Keyboard gage interface
- Depressing a connected footswitch (not included)
- Pressing the Send button on the gage (if it has one)
This ASDQMS SmartCable Keyboard gage interface is easily configured to output data in different modes, such as CR, TAB, up, down, left, right and continuous reading. The output mode is selected by adjusting the rotary switch on the SmartCable Keyboard. To access the rotary switch, simply remove the top cover by loosening two Phillips screws
