12. Output

12-2. USB output (output to PC)

ZTA / ZTS can be connected to PC with included USB cable.

For compatible PCs, please check the operating environment of the software.

12-2-1.  Connection to PC

Connect the interface of force gauge and USB port of 
PC with the included USB cable.

12-2-2.  Installation of driver

Turn on the force gauge while connected to PC.
The force gauge is detected as the new device.  Insert the included CD-ROM to PC 
and follow the direction of Force Logger Installation manual.

* Installation of driver is necessary for data logger software Force Logger 

(included) and graphing software Force-Recorder (optional).

12-2-3.  Installation of data logger software Force Logger

Install data logger software Force Logger after installation of driver.
Select CD drive in My Computer and click an icon of Setup.  (CD-ROM is still inserted 
to PC.)  Follow the direction of Force Logger Installation manual to install.

Commands

The command is common among RS232C and USB interface.
The force gauge basically responses after receiving commands.
Commands and responses are consisted of ASCII code.
Commands and responses are followed by code [CR].  
The force gauge responses when receive code [CR].
The force gauge sends E[CR] when a wrong command is sent.
Gain with C [CR] code.  Please refer to the page 51-58 for commands in 
detail.

• Some PC and environment may not correspond to the CD-ROM.  Please 

get a contact with your local distributor or us in this case.

12-3. Output on RS232C/USB

Connecting with external equipments, data transport and control of force gauges are 
possible.  The connection is based on RS232C (optional cable) and USB (included 
cable).
