Force Logger (optional)
Available to users who need to collect peak data. Please inquire.
SW-1X Data Acquisition Software (optional)
Capture and analyze real-time data from any Imada gauge with a USB or RS-232 port directly into any Windows program. Log measurements and generate a profile graph plus statistical information. Control gauge functions from your computer.
DB-1X Data Input Button (optional)
DB-1X is a compact, one channel interface that enables users to send measurement data to a PC running SW-1X, Imada data acquisition software or other software. The data input button ‘zeros’ the gauge after sending data to the PC eliminating the need to reset manually.
