Interface to RS232 Gauges and Instruments

Connect RS232 devices to your PC, Laptop, TabletPC or UMPC (Ultra-Mobile PC). The DataGet RS232 adapter has a standard DB9 connector to fit your existing cables. All 9 pins work like a standard PC Serial Port.  The DataGet RS232 adapter allows you to communicate with your gauge or device in ways other RS232 gauge adapters cannot.

  • Attaches to Scales, Voltmeters, Calipers, DRO's, pH Meters, digital read-out boxes, air gauges, humidity and temperature sensors, GPS systems, HVAC, spectrographs and more.
  • Works with Fowler, Tesa, Sylvac, Ohaus, Wilson Rockwell, uMaxum and many others.  The DataGet software comes with predefined setups for these gauges and more.
  • Does not require batteries.  The DataGet adapter is powered entirely from the USB connector, and uses extremely low amounts of power.  The gauge interface circuitry uses components designed for handheld/mobile applications, and will not drain your laptop's battery.
  • Intelligent interface - manages signals to and from the gauge, and allows gauge access in ways not available to a standard RS232 port - request readings by toggling DTR, BREAK, or sending a request string.  Signals the PC when a button is pressed on the gauge and a reading is ready.
  • Flexible - one system handles a variety of otherwise incompatible gauges and/or instruments.  You can even accommodate different kinds of measurements such as dimensions, weight, voltage, and the like.
  • Works with standard 9-pin, DB9 Serial cables and connectors.  Uses a standard USB interface cable. No additional adapters required.
  • Use multiple adapters to attach multiple gauges.  Map specific variables to specific adapters/gauges, or accept input from any attached gauge without worry of data collisions.  Mix different gauge types - such as Calipers and Depth gauge. Mix English and Metric gauges, the software automatically converts.  Easily configure your system for specific jobs. Makes sure that your measurements are taken with the correct gauge.
  • Data reading can be triggered from the PC/Laptop.  Works with any USB or PS/2 footswitch that simulates a keypress.  
  • Together with the DataGet software, turns your PC, Laptop or Tablet (or UMPC) computer into a sophisticated SPC Data Collection system.  Automates your Inspection Plan.
  • This is a complete data collection system.  No custom programming is required. No yearly costs.
