SmartCable™ Keyboard for A&D AD Series Analytical Production Weighing Unit
Send data directly to Excel---No Software Wedge Required
This Advanced Systems & Designs - ASDQMS SmartCable™ USB Keyboard, single gage interface, connects the A&D AD-4212A/B Production Weighing Unit to a computer. Connects the A&D AD Analytical Balance to the SmartCable™ Keyboard gage interface using a 25-pin male cable connector---no additional cables required. The output of the SmartCable Keyboard is a standard USB 2.0 keyboard signal.
Connecting the SmartCable™ Keyboard gage interface with its built-in keyboard wedge to a computer will allow the A&D AD Balance to be identified as a keyboard device that can send data to any Microsoft Windows application (like Excel) or internet explorer based SPC program - no complicated software wedge required.
This SmartCable Keyboard gage interface will make the A & D AD Series Analytical Balance readings appear as if they were typed in using a standard keyboard - eliminates data collection errors. If you want to collect SPC data into a Microsoft Excel or other spreadsheet applications, simply select the cell where you want the data to appear.
Readings can be triggered by the following:
-
Pressing the PRINT key on the A&D AD Series Display
-
Pressing the button on the SmartCable Keyboard gage interface
-
Depressing a connected footswitch (not included)
A detailed operation manual is included with this SmartCable Keyboard. Advanced Systems & Designs normally sets the SmartCable Keyboard to the default settings on the A&D AD Series Production Weighing Unit. Make sure both the SmartCable and A&D Balance are set to the same values. Refer to the A&D AD-4212A/B Production Weighing Unit instruction manual for more information on external communication.
LED Indicator lights aid the user with the operation of the SmartCable Keyboard gage interface. This SmartCable Keyboard is easily configured to output data in different output modes on your spreadsheet, such as CR, TAB, up, down, left, or right. 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.
