ASD’s GageMux USB has revolutionized the Quality Control field by simplifying and streamlining data collection! Specifically developed to keep on the cutting edge of technology, the new patent pending GageMux USB multiple input gage interface, now has three, user selectable outputs of backward compatibility. They include a RS232, a USB and a Keyboard option.
One interface box does it all! The RS232 output is compatible with older PC systems, while the USB works for newer ones. The keyboard output is ideal for readings in all Windows programs when a software wedge is not practical to use. The ASD GageMux USB is the first gage interface multiplexer on the market to have USB keyboard output, which significantly simplifies data collection into any Windows program or web browser and without the need for a software wedge.
This innovation eliminates compatibility issues; allows for plug and play operation; daisy chain’s 100’s of gages; and greatly accelerates high speed data collection
Available in rotary, toggle and pushbutton models, the GageMux USB provides configure options using rotary switches or commands stored in memory. It has a red LED for each port displaying errors, a RS232 pass thru port and connects 100’s of gages to one RS232, USB serial or USB keyboard port. It outputs high speed data to a PC at an up to 38700 baud rate, allows for user upgradeable firmware, is CE rated and comes in 4 and 8 port models.

ASD’s SmartCable USB was specifically developed to keep on the cutting edge of technology.
This has revolutionized the Quality control field by simplifying and streamlining data collection!
This new line of USB single input gage interfaces converts the output of any manufacturer’s gage into standard USB output or Mitutoyo output format for use in any SPC data collection system. The SmartCable USB can be triggered to read gages by using the pushbutton, footswitch jack, or commands from the PC. Never before has there been so much patent pending technology utilized in a device no bigger than a stick of gum. The USB Port becomes the multiplexer, this simplifies maintaining and upgrading systems. Your computers windows applications automatically find the USB ports, therefore eliminating any software configuration. Just like your IPod or Digital camera, truly, plug and play. This new technology creates a virtual Com port for each gage, this makes it easier to distinguish and configure your SPC System.
Additional Product Highlights:
- No Compatibility issues
- Plug and play
- Low power consumption
- USB 21.0 compatible
- Continuous output data from gages
- Powers gages from USB port
- Read data pushbutton and footswitch jack
- Convert any brand of gage to USB
- Multiple Modes including: Min/Max/Tir functions
