Interface to PC/Laptop

Connect to the PC, Laptop or TabletPC/Origami device  using USB

• The DataGet hardware and data collection software together form an advanced SPC Data Collection system.  Typically used on the shop floor, DataGetUSB enables the core SPC functions of  data entry, real-time charts, statistical calculations, and alarming.

• Intelligent interface - manages signals to and from the gauge, and decodes gauge output for easier processing on the host computer.

• For Mitutoyo and Mitutoyo compatible gauges such as Mahr Federal and VersaGage.  Connects to the gauge Digimatic SPC interface.

• Supports multiple gauges.  You can assign specific gauges to specific variables and never have to worry about collisions - DataGet will only accept readings from the assigned gauge.  Gauge assignments are persistent, and detected automatically when the program is started. 

•  Provides more flexibility than a gauge multiplexer, yet is simpler. Assign five gauges to one PC, or one gauge to each of five PCs.  Plug and unplug as needed.  No complicated setup once the DataGet software and drivers have been installed on that PC.

• Automates your Inspection Plan. With gauge assignment and VariCycle, you do not have to manually position the cursor - DataGet can handles that for you. Implements your data collection Form.

• Eliminates the need for RS232 ports. Works from USB, does not require batteries or power supplies  (using several adapters may require a powered USB hub.)

• Send data from gauge to PC/Laptop - or request a reading from the PC/Laptop if your gauge does not have a data button.  Also works with USB and PS/2 footswitches.

• Export your data to an Excel spreadsheet, MS Access database, or formatted text file.  If you need a special format, our engineering department can handle your requirements - but these standard export options fit the vast majority of cases.  Most major SPC software will import our formatted text file (.csv) without problem.

• Use in conjunction with your Palm DataGet systems.  Data and Setups are designed for compatibility.  (Or you can use them entirely separate.)

• This is a complete data collection system, no custom programming or yearly costs required.

Try DataGet USB without risk - if not fully satisfied, return within 30 days, no restocking charge (if you paid by credit card, your purchase price will be refunded.)

Interface to PocketPC or Windows CE

Some WinCE units have USB "Host" capabilities.  Theoretically, our USB adapter should work with these units as WinCE drivers are available.  If you have such WinCE units and are interested in DataGet, let us know and we'll see about porting the DataGet software to WinCE.
