Macintosh Serial Cable and DB9-to-MDIN8 Adapter

Purpose

Required in order to connect the serial instruments in this catalog to a Macintosh's modem or printer port.

Features

• 2m(6') M-M serial extension cable
• Detachable F-F DB9MDIN8 adapter.

Catalog#: ACC-CAB-D98

Mitutoyo Data Cable

Purpose

Connects Mitutoyo calipers and gages with SPC output to RS-232C converters and multiplexers.

Features

• Data 'firing' button on instrument connector
• 1m or 2m lengths

Catalog#: MTI-CDC-1 (1m); MTI-CDC-2 (2m)

Mitutoyo Gage to RS-232C Converter / Adapter

Purpose

Connects a Mitutoyo SPC caliper/gage and data cable to a DOS/Windows or Macintosh computer via the computer's RS-232C serial port.

Features

• Instrument readings can be initiated by pressing the instrument's firing button or by sending a "?" to the gage
• Cost effective alternative to Mitutoyo's MUX-10 multiplexer for single instrument connections
• No A/C power source or batteries required

Catalog#: ACC-MRS-100

Serial Card - Dual RS-232C Port Multi I/O

Purpose

Provides two RS-232C serial ports, one game port, and one parallel port. This card will provide the serial ports needed for instruments in systems which do not have pre-installed serial ports or where the existing ports are occupied by modems, pointing devices, or printers.

Features

• Includes 2 serial ports (1 DB9M and 1 DB25M), 1 parallel port, and 1 game port
• Serial ports can be configured as COM1/COM2 or COM3/COM4
• Parallel port can be configured as LPT1 or LPT2
• Game and parallel connectors on main card; serial connectors on separate panel (not shown)

Catalog#: ARC-INT-2

Serial PCMCIA Card

Purpose

Turns a PCMCIA slot in an additional RS-232C serial port. Ideal for connecting a second instrument to a laptop which is equipped with only one standard serial port.

Features

• PCMCIA Type II (85.6mm x 54.0mm x 5mm).
• 9 inch interconnect cable with DB9 male connector.
• Compatible with all major PCMCIA types: II, III, Toshiba IV.
• DOS COM1 - COM4 compatible.
• High speed 16550 UART chip.
• Speeds up to 115.2K baud
• Consumes 25 mA active, 5 mA non-active.

Catalog#: ACC-PCM-1

Serial Card - Quad Port

Purpose

Provides four high-speed, variable IRQ and address, multi-protocol serial ports on one card.

Features

• Ports can be independently configured for any available IRQ and I/O address
• RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 data protocols supported
• RS-232 mode supports TD, RD, RTS, CTS, DSR, DCD, and DTR lines
• Each port uses buffered, high-speed 16550A UART chips
• Four 8-conductor RJ45 connectors on a single card

Catalog#: BAB-INT-4A

Fowler Opto232 Computer Connect Kit

Purpose

Connects an Ultra-Cal III series digital caliper to a DOS/Windows or Macintosh computer for instantaneous, one-button data entry of measurements.

Features

• Includes 1m cable, DB9F connector, and DB9F-DB25F adapter
• Compatible with all sizes of Ultra-Cal III series calipers
• Simple one-piece instrument-to-computer connection; no additional interface units required
• No A/C power source or batteries required (optoelectronic interface is powered by the serial port)
• Connects to your computer's RS-232C serial (modem) port

Catalog#: FOW-CCK-3

Macintosh users need the DB9-MiniDIN8 cable in addition to the Opto232 connect kit.
