SEND
The Display (except BASIC Models) provides an output port that can be used
to send measurement information to a compatible SPC device such as a
printer or data acquisition unit. After connecting the SPC device to the 10 pin
connector on the Display, the user may initiate the data transmission by
momentarily pressing the
SEND
key. This signals the SPC device to acquire
the data from the Display.
Pressing the
SEND
key displays “ Snd ” on the Display for 1 second to show
activation of the send function (even if no SPC device is attached to the
Display).
The data format and connector style of the Display SPC output is the same
as Mitutoyo (Digimatic®) SPC. This is an industry standard that can be
interfaced with most available SPC products including multiplexers, RS232
converters and PC plug-in boards. Data from the Display is sent to the SPC
connector in either millimeters or decimal inches, whichever is currently
displayed on the LCD (centimeters not available).
If no SPC device is attached to the Display, the SEND key has no other
function.

On ProScale
WIRELESS
Displays the
SEND
key activates the transmitter
and will send measurement information to the ProScale RF Wireless
Receiver. The receiver decodes this information and makes it available at its
RS232 connection in one of six modes:

The batteries in the ProScale
WIRELESS
Display can provide approximately
50,000 data transmissions before needing replacement.

.
F2 is only used on ProScale
WIRELESS
Displays to
