14. Managing Communications and Data Transfer
This section describes how the 38DL PLUS can communicate with a computer or a
printer to send, receive, import, and export files. The 38DL PLUS has two
communication ports: USB and RS-232.
The 38DL PLUS comes standard with a USB cable for communicating using the
USB 2.0 protocol. You must purchase an optional RS-232 cable (see Table 23 on
page 246) to use RS-232 communication. The 38DL PLUS can send data to any device
capable of receiving ASCII-formatted data using the RS-232C/D protocol. This
includes personal computers, minicomputers, dataloggers, and printers. The data
cable must be compatible with the 38DL PLUS output connector and the serial input
connector of the receiving device. Olympus supplies cables for computers and serial
printers and provides assistance with connecting to any other equipment.
When communicating directly to a printer, the 38DL PLUS will only work with
RS-232 serial printers.
14.1 GageView
GageView is the Olympus interface program designed to communicate with
instruments such as the 38DL PLUS. GageView provides the capability to create
inspection database files, upload and download data files, and generate reports.
Olympus recommends to use GageView to communicate with the 38DL PLUS and to
manage 38DL PLUS data.
