This Advanced Systems & Designs SmartCable™ USB Keyboard single-gage interface connects the Ohaus Explorer Pro Precision Balance to a computer.

Connecting the SmartCable™ Keyboard 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 gage interface will make the Ohaus Explorer Pro Series Balance digital 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 software programs, simply select the cell where you want the data to appear.
Readings can be triggered by any of the following:
-
Pressing the push button on the SmartCable™ Keyboard gage interface
-
Depressing a connected footswitch (not included)

Pressing the Print button on the Ohaus Explorer Pro Series Electronic Balance
Simple to set-up, simple to use!
