Accuscan LaserMike AS1000 SmartCable™ USB Gage Interface
Send data directly to Excel---No Software Wedge Required
This Advanced Systems & Designs - ASDQMS SmartCable™ USB Keyboard single gage interface connects the Beta LaserMike Accuscan AS1000 to a computer. Connects the Beta LaserMike Accuscan AS1000 to the SmartCable™ Keyboard gage interface using a 9-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 Beta LaserMike Accuscan AS1000 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 Beta LaserMike Accuscan AS1000 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 or Explorer based SPC programs, simply select the cell where you want the data to appear.
There are no display or user controls on the Beta LaserMike Accuscan AS1000 gauge. Readings are monitored on a separate, companion indicator unit or communicating via the RS-232 port with our SmartCable™ USB Keyboard single gage interface.
Readings can be triggered by the following:
-
Pressing the button on the SmartCable™ Keyboard
-
Depressing a connected footswitch (not included)
Simple to use!
LED Indicator lights aid the user with the operation of the ASDQMS SmartCable™ gage interface.
