The SmartCable USB with Keyboard Output Makes Data Collection Easy

25th Feb 2014

Simplify your data acquisition systems and eliminate your manual data collection errors. The SmartCable™line of single input gage interfaces converts the output of any manufacturer’s gage into standard USB,RS232 or Keyboard output for use in any Statistical Process Control (SPC) data collection system or Microsoft Applications (Excel).

Connecting the SmartCable Keyboard to a computer will allow the SmartCable 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 gage readings appear as if they were typed in using a standard computer keyboard.

The SmartCable Keyboard is simple to set-up and quickly configures itself. Advanced Systems & Designs has made it easy to connect calipers, micrometers, indicators, and hundreds of brands of gages directly to computers. Readings are triggered using the gage send button, the push button on cable, or an external footswitch.

The SmartCable Keyboard with its built-in keyboard wedge is ideal for data collection in all Windows programs when a software wedge is not practical to use. Use our SmartCable Keyboard for new product data collection, lab or process validation testing, or full production operations. The SmartCable gage interface is designed with the harsh shop-floor environment in mind but works anywhere you want to collect data.

The SmartCable Keyboard is easily configured to output data in different modes, such as CR, TAB, up, down, left, right and continuous reading. The output mode is selected by adjusting the rotary switch on the SmartCable Keyboard. To access the rotary switch, simply remove the top cover by loosening two Phillips screws. A detailed operation manual is included with each SmartCable Keyboard. Standard cable length is six foot but special lengths are always available upon request.
