ProCable
Connects RS-232 Devices to Digital Gage Interfaces

If you need to bring additional serial devices into digital gage interfaces, the ProCable is one of your options.

Converts an RS-232 input to a Mitutoyo compatible output.
The baud rate and communication parameters are automatically detected by this cable when your serial device sends data.
The baud and communication parameters that are detected are automatically stored in the ProCable and will be retained even when the ProCable is unplugged from the interface.
Can be used with the GageWay3, GageWay5, Mx4 and Mx8 interfaces or with any Mitutoyo compatible interfaces that provide a 5-volt power supply on pin 9 (pin 9 is a standard power supply pin for Mitutoyo compatible interfaces).
Contains all of the RS-232 input and processing capability, and does not rely on any special capabilities within the interface it is connected to.
This solution costs $135.

When to Choose the ProCable Solution:

If your interface does not support the LC Cable and you need an additional RS-232 input.
You do not know what the baud rate and communication parameters are, and you want the ProCable to determine them for you.
You want to plug and unplug serial devices on the fly. Each of your devices has different baud and communication parameters and you do not want to go through any configuration steps when you plug in your serial devices. You can achieve this by using the separate ProCable on each of your serial devices.
