Communications – (memory option only)
Model 100 “memory” Gages can communicate with other devices such as PC’s,
serial printers and data collectors via either the built-in infra-red port or the
RS232 connector using the supplied serial cable.
Printing
Stored measurements (from one “application” at a time) can be sent formatted to
an infra-red or serial printer and can be captured on a computer using a COM
program such as Windows HyperTerminal or MacTerminal. Measurements are
not erased from memory after being downloaded. See page 23 for full details. A
sample printout can be found in Appendix B.
PosiSoft
PosiSoft ™ for Windows is supplied at no additional charge with all Gages with
the memory option. It runs on PC-type computers running Windows95, 98, NT
or higher version and having a COM port.
PosiSoft provides the user with a tool for
monitoring and analyzing a coating thickness
process. When Gage readings are downloaded
to PosiSoft, the results may be saved to
separate files for analysis. PosiSoft quickly
generates Histograms, Control Charts and a
Statistical Summary.
Full operating instructions can be accessed by first installing the software,
starting the program and then selecting the
Help q

option.
Downloading Measurements As They Are Taken
After each measurement cycle a thickness measurement is derived and the result
is simultaneously displayed on the LCD and transmitted from the RS232 serial
port at 9600 baud, 8 bits, nonparity, 1 stop bit. Output is in the following form
(example):
{STX}2,Polymer,•••••••2.5,Polymer,•••••••1.2,concrete,mils{CR}{LF} where:
STX = ASCII code 02 = ^B concrete = substrate category
2 = number of coats (layers) mils = units
Polymer = coating category CR = ASCII code 13 = ^M
• = space LF = ASCII code 10 = ^J
2.5 =thickness measurement for layer1
