The CimWorks/GageTalker GP-0602NT-H is an 8-port GagePort-NT module that interfaces electronic measuring instruments with PC-based data acquisition systems. It converts gage output to standard ASCII format for transmission via serial COM port, enabling real-time measurement data collection in manufacturing and quality control environments. The module supports digital, BCD, and analog measuring devices through type-specific FlashCable connections. Its Software Wedge feature allows direct keyboard buffer input into existing PC applications without code modification.
## Technical Specifications
**Input Signal Types**
• Digital gages with RS-232, Mitutoyo, Federal Maxum, CDI, Fowler/Sylvac protocols
• BCD gages
• Analog gages with DC outputs (LMI, column gages, torque wrenches)
• LVDTs and Half-bridge probes
**Port Configuration**
The GP-0602NT model provides 8 ports optimized for LVDT and Half-bridge probe connections. GagePort-NT modules are available in 2-port, 4-port, and 8-port variants.
**Data Transmission**
Output converts to standard ASCII format via serial COM port connection to host computer. Multiple modules interconnect using a GagePort Multiplexer, supporting up to 32 total gages on a single PC.
**Power Supply**
Requires dedicated GagePort Power Supply, which furnishes both module power and PC cable connectivity.
## Key Features
• Software Wedge compatibility enables data injection into unmodified PC applications via standard keyboard buffer
• FlashCable smart cable system—Digital FlashCables for digital gages, Analog FlashCables for analog transducers
• Multi-gage stacking capability through GagePort Multiplexer architecture
• Protocol recognition across major industrial gage standards
## Typical Applications
• Automated data logging in manufacturing inspection stations
• Real-time SPC (Statistical Process Control) data collection
• Quality assurance workflows requiring gage-to-software integration without custom development
## Compatibility & Integration
Module integrates with GE’s Proficy Shop Floor SPC software and third-party data-collection systems. Supports diverse measuring device types—digital calipers, analog column gages, specialized transducers—through unified FlashCable interface architecture.
**Availability Note:** The GP-0602NT series has been discontinued by the original manufacturer but remains available through third-party refurbished inventory channels.
