Eric,
A company called MicroRidge make a serial or USB interface for the mitutoyo Gage. The product name is GageWay SM:
http://www.microridge.com/ftp/gw_sm/gageway_sm_users_guide.pdf
Page 4 of the manual has a set or commands to control the interface.
All I want is to be able to tell the interface when to start taking data, when to stop and the time interval between datapoints. I want the VI to output the values in a spreadsheet with a time stamped for each datapoint.
Regards,
Ricardo

Eric,
So, I open the Basic Serial Write and Read vi off the Example Finder. I run it and nothing shows up on the read box. also, do I just put an R in the write command box to get a reading?

HI,
I'm also interested in using Mitutoyo products, and I was wondering what acquisition frequency we can reach by using the RS232 interface? Has anyone an aswer??
For the acquisition of the signal by using USB, try the write (the VISA tools) with "R+carriage return" and the a read with only 1 byte. Then you can know if you get something from the sensor.
Good luck
Marc
