The SmartCable™ line of single input gage interfaces converts the output of any manufacturer's gage into standard USB, RS232 or Mitutoyo output format for use in any SPC data collection system.

SmartCable™ easily connects devices to a PC via:

• USB 2.0
• Standard RS232 ASCII port
• Mitutoyo DP1, DP3, DP7 and Mux 10
• Mitutoyo Digimatic compatible devices

The SmartCable™ quickly configures itself. ASDQMS has made it easy to connect calipers, micrometers, indicators or any other gages directly to PCs or Mitutoyo compatible devices. Readings are triggered using the gage's send button, button on cable, an external foot switch (connected via external foot-switch jack) or host request. The SmartCable's interface is designed with the harsh shop-floor environment in mind and employs an advanced micro-controller.

The SmartCable™ adds functionality to virtually any existing gage by allowing data collection in either static mode (instantaneous reading) or dynamic mode (MIN/MAX/TIR). Requiring no external power supply, the SmartCable™ gets its power via the PC's USB serial port or Mitutoyo compatible systems, making it ideal for portable (roving) data collection (optional external power supply is available).
