MobileCollect Selection Tool
1 Introduction
There are hundreds of gages that are supported by MobileCollect. With the MobileCollect
Selection Tool you can quickly determine the gage cable and Mobile Module required for your
gage. All you need is the gage manufacturer and the gage model number (gage code for
Mitutoyo).
When you configure a MobileCollect wireless system, you can specify the following:
§ Gage cables for connecting your gages to Mobile Modules.
§ Type of Mobile Module (Mini, Digital or RS-232) required for each gage.
§ Number of Remotes required. Remotes are optional and may not be required for your
configuration.
§ Number and type of Bases (USB, USB MicroBase or RS-232) required. You will need a
Base for each PC that will be receiving wireless measurements
§ Accessories such as Serial to USB cables.
The most difficult task in this configuration process can be determining the gage cables and
Mobile Modules required for your gages. The MobileCollect Selection Tool allows you to enter
the gage models (gage code for Mitutoyo gages) and will show you the gage cables and Mobile
Modules required for your gages. The MobileCollect Selection Tool contains information for
over 1,000 gage models and allows you to quickly configure a MobileCollect. system.
