USB-ITPAK

This setup and data collection software is used to input data from one or more measuring instruments (connected by way of USB-ITN) to any Excel sheet. (This software package cannot be used with IT-012U.)

Measurement data collection software: USB-ITPAK Order No. 06ADV386

Major features• Excel input settings: The input destination (a workbook, sheet, or cell), cell-fill direction (right or down), cell-fill interval, and other settings

can be specified.• Measurement method selection: Any of the following three methods can be selected: Sequential measurement, batch measurement, or

individual measurement. (For details, see the measurement examples.)• Data input control: Data can be requested, canceled, or skipped by using mouse buttons, function keys, or foot switch.• Character string input by the USB foot switch adapter, USB-FSW: Any previously specified character string can be input using the foot

switch. Examples: pass or fail• Number of units that can be connected (total number for both USB-ITN and USB-FSW): Up to 20 units can be connected for Windows Vista

or Windows 7, and up to 100 units can be connected for Windows 2000 or Windows XP. However, the above numbers might be less depending on the system configuration.•Data importation time: About 0.2 to 0.3 seconds per unit. However, this value differs depending on the connected measuring instruments

and measurement environment.•Driver software: The VCP (virtual COM port) drivers for USB-ITN and USB-FSW are individually recognized using a built-in COM number.

Details about the usage environment are provided on page 5.

Although measurement data can be simply loaded directly into an Excel spreadsheet just by connecting the instrument and input tool to a computer, using the optional USB-ITPAK software enables time-saving operations and procedures that significantly improve reliability and efficiency.

* To avoid damaging the threaded holes in the plastic body of the U-WAVE-T unit, the mounting screws should be tightened only just sufficiently to grip. Repeated removal of these screws should also be avoided for the same reason.

Example of a custom-order – Support of data request from a PC (Event Drive mode)

This custom-ordered Event Drive enables data requests from the PC end. This system is effective if no operator is in attendance at a measuring tool or if the tool is installed at an inaccessible site. (Data acquisition from a measuring tool such as a Digimatic indicator mounted on a machine or a jig.)

Precautions(1) About battery life: The battery lifespan in the Event Drive mode is shorter than that in the Normal mode (button-drive). Change to the Normal (button-drive) mode after every measurement to extend the battery life span.(2) If using multiple measuring tools: If multiple U-WAVE-T units are connected to one U-WAVE-R unit in the Event Drive mode, a

communication error could result due to conflict between the signals when data is transmitted simultaneously from the U-WAVE-T units since they use the same frequency.

To avoid any transmission conflict, shift the timing of each measurement or provide enough U-WAVE-R units (a maximum of 16 units are connectable) for each measuring tool and set different frequencies (15 channels).

For detailed information, contact the nearest Mitutoyo Sales Department.

Data is automatically transmitted in the Event Drive mode upon change in display value of a measuring tool and thus the latest data is stored in the U-WAVE-R unit.

You do not need to press the Data switch on the measuring tool.

Updated data can be acquired by sending the Data Request command from a PC to the U-WAVE-R unit.

Create a program that supports the data request command as system software by the customer or use Mitutoyo MeasureReport V4.1.

This system needs the custom-ordered U-WAVEPAK that supports the event drive. Purchase the standard models for U-WAVE-T and U-WAVE-R units.

utilizing a PC network environment. Expansion from a stand-alone installation to a network system can easily be performed, allowing a gradual upgrade from a single test operation in one section to a full-scale operation.

Centralized measurement data management by networking

Preventive control via real-time control chartReal-time control charts are utilized to find abnormalities at an early stage in the production run and so effectively prevent defects from occurring.

Possibilities of occurrence of future defects are found at an early stage based on current trends.

MeasurLinkMeasurement Data Network System

MeasurLink® software is developed in the U.S., the birthplace of SPC, by Mitutoyo America and incorporates years of industry expertise. Manufacturing globally has become borderless with an increasing number of companies, including Japanese manufacturing, doing business abroad. Adoption of certified ISO9000-based quality control standards, such as QS-9000 in the automobile industry in the U.S., is becoming

a requirement, a trend that is expected to spread to other industries as well. In Japan today, most systems utilize inspection certificates, but process control will be required in more cases in the adoption of international standard certificates.

Incorporates a data switch, so the tool is usable regardless of whether or not the measuring instrument has a switch.

Does not incorporate a data switch, so an instrument fitted with a switch is required in order to use the instrument alone. (However, the tool can be used with USB-ITPAK.)
