- 1 input for external command (footswitch)
- 1 Reset button
- Storage temperature -40 °C to +70 °C.
- Operating temperature : +5°C to +40°C.
- Power supply 235 V Consumption : 2 VA
CONNECTION
- Mitutoyo and Mahr instruments are connected to the MUX4 through their original cable.(Digimatic)
- Opto RS232 duplex instruments (Ex: Sylvac, Tesa, Käfer...) are connected through a cable ref 18010
- Instruments having a RS232 output are connected with cables ref 18100. This cable can be delivered ready to use or easily configured by the user in order to fulfill each particular need thanks to the MuxConfig software.
- Instruments equipped with an analogue output in voltage or current are connected with the cable ref 189xx : ±5V, ±10V, 0-5V, 0-10V, 4-20mA, ±20mA, 0-20mA.
INSTRUMENT READING
There are 3 ways to read your measuring instrument :
- By a software request received on the communication port (RS 232 or USB depending on the model).
- By a footswitch connected to the MUX4
- By using the tranfer button of the instrument
This configuration enables the PC to get the measurements taken from different instruments.
It is possible to get the measurement one after each other, or several instruments together (multi-gauging)
The free Winmux software allows to bring directly the data into a spreadsheet software (Excel, Open office...).
CONTENTS OF THE PACKAGE
The Mux are delivered with a USB cable for data transmission and power supply. The box also contains a CD with USB driver, software and user's manuals (English, French and German).
