Renishaw's new DX10 interface is designed to connect its market leading ML10 laser calibration system and EC10 environmental compensator unit to PCs via an industry standard USB connection.
Renishaw's new DX10 interface is designed to connect its market leading ML10 laser calibration system and EC10 environmental compensator unit to PCs via an industry standard USB connection.
The DX10 is a reliable high speed communications device, transmitting data at 5kHz to Renishaw's Laser10 software and new QuickView motion analysis software.
Suitable for both laptop and desktop PCs, the new DX10 interface avoids the need for PCMCIA or internal PCI interfaces, which are gradually being phased out of mainstream PCs in favour of USB connectivity.
For dual axis data capture from the ML10 laser interferometer, a user can simply use two DX10 interfaces which can be plugged into two separate USB ports or a separate hub.
Replacing Renishaw's existing PCM20 (PCMCIA) card as the standard system interface, the DX10 unit is compatible with Windows XP and service pack 1 and 2.
The new DX10 interface kit includes a 3m USB cable, DX10 driver and installation CD-ROM.
