Troy Company's Data Collection Gear Offers New Features

TROY -- Advanced Systems & Design Inc. said last week that its new two-port GageMux USB offers new data collection features.

The company says the new device is now faster and compatible with even more gages than ever -- Ono Sokki, Mitutoyo, Starrett, Mahr, Ohaus, CDI, Chatillon, and many more. With GageMux USB connections, data transfer can be up to 100 times faster than with ordinary serial connections. Users can even send readings at a 38,400 baud rate – your gage readings will be sent to the computer faster than the competitors'.

Advanced Systems says it is the only interface company that has invested in patent pending product development based on customers' requests, and is constantly developing its products to be compatible with any brand or type of gage.

Those outside the United States will find it convenient that the optional USB-powered 2 Port GageMux USB means no power adapters are needed in foreign countries. ASDQMS has gone international, accommodating data collection needs all over the world from Mexico to Brazil to Ireland to Israel. Its product allows companies with plants all over the world to easily connect multiple gages to a single computer port, with any gage, and at a higher speed, wherever in the world they may be.   Another new functionality of the 2 Port GageMux USB is that ASDQMS has developed a new integration with the Flash Cable 3.0 – users can now configure all the serial parameters and request strings on your thier using Advanced Systems' Windows utility, something that was not possible in the past.

The 2 Port GageMux USB also has LEDs that communicate to the user exactly what is going on. Green LEDs tell you when a reading is sent to the computer, red LEDs tell you when a gage is not reading correctly, and yellow LEDs let users know which output mode you have configured: USB, RS232, or Keyboard, and if the jumper is set.

The company said the device offers low cost, easy configuration, connection to legacy RS232 and USB ports, faster data collection, more accurate data collection, all in a compact metal case, with a lifetime waranty.

Advanced Systems & Designs and its 25 years experience in data-collection application and integration can help users eliminate the high cost of inconsistent quality by controlling your shop floor with SPC software, gage interfaces, genesis roving data collectors, wireless data transfer and gage cables.
