USB Gage Interfaces

The GageMux® USB is the newest addition to ASDQMS’s line of Universal Interfaces

Before the invention of the GageMux®, inspectors either checked the quality of components by hand, writing the results on a clipboard, or trundled a cumbersome computer across the shop floor. ASDQMS’ GageMux® has revolutionized data collection and storage. By converting analog or digital input into a standard serial ASCII RS232 or Mitutoyo signal, it allows users to connect hundreds of different types of measuring devices and gages to an automated data collection system such as a PC or hand-held computer.
