Advanced Systems & Designs, 600-11-USB, SmartCable USB for Chicago Dial Indicator or Starrett Indicator
The Chicago Dial Indicator CDI Logic, Logic Plus, Logic Basic or Starrett Wisdom 2700 gage is connected to the Advanced Systems & Designs SmartCable using the connector on the cable. Connecting the SmartCable USB to a computer will allow the SmartCable USB to be detected as a COM port (or virtual Com Port) to Send data to communication and terminal emulation programs (i.e. HyperTerminal) or any SPC data collection software program.
Note: Not typically used for CDI Logic IQ or Starrett Wisdom IQ indicator.
The output of the SmartCable USB is a standard USB 2.0 COM port signal and the USB connection supplies power to the cable. As a result, the gage can obtain power from the SmartCable Keyboard or can use separate power (batteries) of its own.

Readings can be triggered by any of the following:
- Pressing the Send button on the SmartCable USB
- Depressing a connected footswitch (not included)
- Pressing the Send button on the gage (if it has one)
- Sending a gage read command from the computer to the SmartCable USB
