Mitutoyo USB Interface

[JoanCristobal]

Thank you for your help.

I found the problem! In a mituotyo parameters, there are 2 output mode SPC and RS232.

If I choose RS232 mode and I write GA00\r, the respons is 911

If I choose SPC mode  and I write GA00\r, the respons is 01A+0000.032 when on the mitotuyo screen the value is 0.032 mm!

I don't understand why I must to be in SPC mode to communicate...

Now I will try to extract only the value in millimeter of the read buffer

Hi Rico, I have the exact same input tool and I cannot get it to communicate at all. I'm new at Labview but I've been looking over several different examples. If you got this to work, I'd appreciate your help.

Thanks,

Hi,

Try this vi.

I need to configure for a USB RAW input and for some reason I'm getting an error in NI MAX "VISA (Hex0xBFFF003E) Could not perform operation because of I/O error"

[JoanCristobal]

Have you installed the drivers?

I'm not English, why do you speak of RAW? for me, it's picture format.

for the USB parameter, I have that:

9600 bauds, 8 bits, none, 2 bits Stop

but you can change it directly on mitutoyo.

According to Mitutoyo, drivers are provided since this is an Human Interface Devise.

One last question, did you use an input tool with your project, like the IT-016U? Or just the dial indicator directly to the computer.

Thanks,

[JoanCristobal]

No, I didn't use IT-016U or the dial indicator.

I have this DMX-1 USB between the pc and mitutoyo.

Thank very much Joan!!! I spoke to the Mitutoyo reps and no one mentioned the DMX-1. I appreciate all your help.

Gracias,

I was looking around and Mitutoyo doesn't sell this product in the United States. 😞
