Panametrics Magna-Mike Model 8000 SmartCable™ USB Interface with Keyboard Output
Send data directly to Excel---No Software Wedge Required
This Advanced Systems & Designs SmartCable™ USB Keyboard, single gage interface, connects the Panametrics Magna-Mike Model 8000 Thickness Gauge to a computer. Connects the Magna-Mike Model 8000 Thickness Gauge to our SmartCable™ Keyboard interface using a 25-pin female cable connector---no additional cables required. The output of the SmartCable™ Keyboard is a standard USB 2.0 keyboard signal.
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 interface cable will make the Panametrics Magna-Mike Model 8000 Thickness Gauge 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.
Readings can be transmitted by the following:
-
Pressing the button on the SmartCable™ Keyboard gage interface
-
Depressing a connected footswitch (not included)
