Send data directly to Excel---No Software Wedge Required
This Advanced Systems & Designs SmartCable™ USB Keyboard single gage interface connects the A&D GF Series Precision Balance to a computer (includes the GF-200, 300, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 2000, 3000, 4000, 6100, 6000, & 8000 Precision Balances). Connects the A&D GF Precision 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 USB Keyboard gage interface with its built-in keyboard wedge to a computer will allow the SmartCable gage interface to be identified as a keyboard device that can send data to any Microsoft Windows application - no software wedge required. The SmartCable Keyboard will make the A & D GF Series Precision Balance readings appear as if they were typed in using a standard keyboard - eliminates data collection errors. If you want to collect data into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, simply select the cell where you want the data to appear.
Readings can be triggered by the following:
- Pressing a send button on the A&D GF Series Precision Balance, if it has one
-
Pressing the button on the SmartCable™ Keyboard gage interface
-
Depressing a connected footswitch (not included)
