Review on Mitutoyo 06ADV380C Digimatic Calipers Height: Precision Measurement Tool for Accurate Height Readings by Adam French

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Cute little time saver

This is a great time saver to use with the Mitutoyo measuring tool. The cable enters the current measurement into any software that can enter the keyboard. Just press the red button on the cable and voila! Note that the cable always hits "Enter" after entering the measurement number, which may or may not be what you want. This is not configurable. Make sure you get the right cable for your device! Go to the Mitutoyo home page, click on "Literature", scroll down the page and click on "Manuals". On the manuals page, locate the exact part number ("code #" = "order number") you are interested in. You will receive PDF files for download. Download and read the PDF for compatibility information. The page is a bit confusing so I copied some useful information about the compatibility of these direct USB cables: AX CD-C06ADV380D ABS Digital Display ID-H/FQM Height QMH06ADV380E Quick Micro MDQDigimatic Holtest HTDABS Borematic SBM-C06ADV380F ABS Digital Display ID -CX /C/S/U06ADV380G Digital Display ABS ID-N/BForm Please make sure your meter support the output ! Not all Mitutoyo devices have an output connector! Devices that don't support output are slightly cheaper, but they won't work with this cable. If you are unsure of your instrument's capabilities, please refer to the catalog materials on the Mitutoyo website. The function of the output connector is called differently in different places. It is most commonly referred to as "SPC” on the Mitutoyo website. It is referred to as "Digimatic" in some catalogs and marketing materials. Another way you can see it is with ". with/without output. Finally, I strongly recommend that you purchase any Mitutoyo equipment from Revain LLC only. Third party vendors on Revain may not supply you with genuine Mitutoyo equipment.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
