Images 1-3 are of the new style 543-702B digital indicators from mitutotyo.
Previously we used the older model shown in image 4 along other the Fowler data transmitter seen in images 5 and 6. They served their purpose and am seeking a similar solution for the new model indicators, but mitutoyo makes it very confusing.
On McMasterCarr website I can see a list of accessories and the USB data cable seems like it would fit the port, but it doesn’t appear to have a data button to send keystrokes to a pc which our production line would like to have.
A large part of my confusion is that the images online are terrible and only show one view of the cable.
I’m also willing to explore wireless solutions, but figured the wired route would be simpler (I was wrong).
I’ve additionally purchased some Mahr indicators (not depicted) that have a simple usb plug that goes into the PC and a data button on the indicator itself. It’s pretty sleek, but the software setup is still more convoluted than what we had with the older model mitutoyo indicators. That was literal plug and play. But plug the usb drive into the PC and slap the data transmitter on the indicator and you’re running. Seeing as how more people than myself will be operating with these, I would really like a very similar “stupid-easy” approach if anyone has some suggestions.
Thank you in advance.
