The GageMux USB from Advanced Systems & Designs (ASDQMS) is a powerful tool that has revolutionized SPC data collection and storage for precision measurement. Here are some key points about this interface:
- Compatibility: The GageMux USB is compatible with all SPC software programs. It allows users to connect various types of measuring devices and gauges to an automated data collection system, such as a PC or handheld device.
- Functionality: This universal gage interface supports two, four, or eight inputs and can daisy-chain hundreds of gauges. It reads directly from Mitutoyo gauges or Digimatic output gauge cables (such as the ASDQMS FlashCable).
- LED Indicators: The GageMux USB features LED indicators that communicate important information to the user. These indicators show if a reading is sent correctly to the computer, if a gauge is reading incorrectly, and which output mode is configured (USB or RS232).
- Configurable Options: Users can configure the GageMux USB using rotary switches or stored commands. It also has an RS232 pass-thru port and connects multiple gauges to an RS232 or USB serial port.
- Plug-and-Play: Setting up the GageMux USB is straightforward—simply plug it into your computer’s USB port, and the driver is automatically installed. If you prefer RS232 output, switch the internal settings and connect a serial cable.
- High Compatibility: The GageMux USB supports gauges from over 500 different manufacturers and provides high-resolution output for precise measurements.
- Speed: It allows readings to be sent up to 100 times faster than ordinary serial connections.
- Warranty: The GageMux USB comes with a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
This versatile ASDQMS GageMux interface simplifies SPC data collection and enhances efficiency in quality control processes.
