7 COMMUNICATING WITH MESURGAUGE
Series DC controllers can communicate with MESURgauge data collection
software. The test stand can output either load data only or load data combined
with travel data. To communicate with MESURgauge, certain settings in the test
stand, gauge, and software must be changed as follows:
7.1 Load data only
1. Check physical connections (refer to Section 3.2).
2. Gauge settings (refer to the gauge’s user’s guide).
1. Set to automatic output of every sample.
2. Disable Mitutoyo BCD output.
3. Test stand settings
1. Set the baud rate to 115,200.
2. Set the Control mode to Console.
7.2 Load and travel data simultaneously (TSTM / TSTMH only)
1. Check physical connections (refer to Section 3.2)
2. MESURgauge settings
1. Test Setup tab
1. Under Travel check the Enable box. Under Reading
Mode, if Continuous Readings is selected, Readings per
Sec. defaults to 4. This value can be increased.
2. Port Configuration tab
1. Identify a working com port, and select the appropriate
port in Gauge Port Settings.
2. Under Gauge Port Settings, change baud rate to 115,200.
