U-WAVE / USB Input Tool / DP-1VA LOGGER

Measurement Data Management System

“Visualization of Quality” Increases the Competitiveness of Manufacturing.

Breaking away from handwritten records and embracing centralized management of measurement data can lead to an increase in quality and efficiency in the future.

Steps to Achieving “Visualization of Quality”

Select your desired data communication method.

Measurement Data Input Unit

USB Input Tool

Simple and robust option to collect data from a digimatic gage. 

Measurement data can be sent to a PC with a single switch.

Simply connect it to the USB port  of your PC for automatic recognition,  add your digimatic data cable  and gage for immediate use

If you have a Digimatic gage with an output terminal and a PC,  you can import the data into whatever record format you normally use (Excel, Word, Notepad, etc.).The ergonomic data button is isolated from the gage where it might otherwise introduce  unwanted movement. A 3.5mm jack socket allows attachment of an optional foot switch.Most suitable tool for taking the first step in breaking away from handwritten records and digitizing quality records.

Pair with the appropriate digimatic data cable to suit your gage. (Refer to page 18)

Can be used with your own Digimatic gage with an output terminal

You may already own a measuring tool that can be used. See the photographs below to check whether it has a Digimatic output connector. The connector type may be different, depending on the measuring tool model. See the list showing measuring tool compatibility on pages 8 to 9 and 18 to 19.

Mini-Printer Equipped with Data Logging Function

DP-1VA LOGGER

When you need on-the-spot printout

Measurement data can be printed on the spot and also be sent to a PC.

Portable for on-the-spot output

This small, portable printer can be used to print measurement data from Digimatic gages and perform statistical calculations. It has a 2-way power supply system, providing excellent mobility and flexibility. Being portable, it allows you to output measurement results from a Digimatic gage on the spot. It is a powerful tool for streamlining quality control and improving quality.

Highly effective for quality checking

The DP-1VA LOGGER has high functionality. Not only is it capable of printing measurement data from Digimatic gages, performing various statistical calculations, and producing histograms and D charts, but it is also capable of performing complex 
calculations for X-R control charts.
Up to 1,000 data items can be saved in the device using the data logger function. By connecting it to a PC with a USB cable (optional), you can transfer all saved data to your own Excel forms with a single touch.

Example of printout

MODE1 Various statistical calculations are executed using all input data. If the tolerance limits have been set, GO/±NG judgment and histogram creation are also enabled. MODE2 In addition to the MODE1 function, measurements within the tolerance limits are printed out as a D chart*. This chart allows  you to identify the trend of variations in measurement data. * D chart stands for Displacement chart. MODE3 Only input of data automatically enables calculation processing of complex control limit values as well as calculation for creating an Xbaar-R control chart.

Example of batch printing log data

In OUT LOG Setting 1 This setting allows printout of measurement time, measurement value, and GO/±NG judgment result. In OUT LOG Setting 2 This setting allows printout of measurement time, measurement value, and GO/±NG judgment result. In OUT LOG Setting 3 This setting allows printout of data number, measurement date and time, measurement value, and GO/±NG judgment result.

Options
