Mitutoyo gage data straight into your computer!
|
The power
tool for
SPC!
|
GaugeLink is a low cost adaptor which allows readings to be transferred directly
from your Mitutoyo Digimatic(tm) digital measuring gauge into your computer.
Simply connect your gage to the GaugeLink, and the GaugeLink to your computer, and you will never again have to
manually type readings into the computer.
|
Sends gage
data to any
Windows
program!
|
- Simple: Connects to standard serial (COM) port on any computer;
- Clean: Draws its power from the computer. No messy power cord;
- Versatile: Readings triggered from gauge or optional footswitch;
- Understandable: Readings go straight into any Windows program as if they were typed on the keyboard;
- Universal: Works with all Windows software;
- Portable: Works on notebook computers; use it in the field or on the shop floor;
We also offer a companion footswitch and adaptor. Very useful when measuring awkward parts.

Note: The GaugeLink is not suitable for use with USB to serial adaptors. It will only work properly with computers that have true COM ports.

Software

GaugeLink comes with a free "software wedge" program, GLWedge, that will transfer readings directly
into any Windows program. Whenever you take a reading on your gage
it will appear in your program, exactly as if the numbers had been typed manually with a trailing [Enter] key.
In Exceltm you will get one reading per cell, down a column. In (say) Notepadtm you will get one reading per line.
New: GLWedge V3.0 now lets you set up readings to appear in multiple columns.
If you are writing your own application, let GLWedge do the difficult COM port stuff for you and simply let it
"squirt" the data into a text entry box that can respond to a carriage return character.
So why put up with tedious and error prone manual data entry when it can be automated so easily?

You can download GLWedge for free. It has a demo mode
that generates simulated readings, just as if they came
from a gauge connected to your computer via a real
GaugeLink. This will let you try out the idea on your
intended Windows program.Click here to download the GLWedge installation file glw.exe.
Save it on your desktop and double click on
it to install it on
your computer.
Click here for the GaugeLink
user instructions in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) format (61K).
This includes the communications message format in case
you want to write your own driver.
Click here to download an ActiveX control package for GaugeLink. This contains a
component that will will allow you to write your own Visual Basic program
to communicate with the GaugeLink. We have not been able to test it with other
software, e.g. Excel. If you want to try using it in other software we will
work with you to sort out any problems.
This is a 2MB zip file. Unzip it into a temporary folder and run the setup.exe program.

SPC
Software
|
Statistical Process Control (SPC) is a technique that uses sensitive statistical analysis
of test data to identify manufacturing process problems before they result in out of tolerance
product. Many companies fail to take advantage of this powerful technique because the
math is scary. In actual fact you need to understand very little of the math to take advantage of SPC.
Some years ago we wrote an "entry level" software package for SPC called qCalc. qCalc is free,
and contains an introductory SPC tutorial that demystifies the topic and presents it in
an easily understood, intuitive manner. Click here for more information and to download qCalc.

We also make electronic controllers for OEM use.
If you are an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) making any product that uses an embedded electronic
control, a SPLat controller could be of great benefit to your product.
