[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as a measurement data acquisition device of this type, measurement data output from an electronic digital measuring device such as a micrometer with a data output or a caliper is simply acquired and output to a data processing device using an interface such as RS232C. What is known is.

In such a conventional measurement data fetching device, the fetched measurement data is directly stored in a predetermined software.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 That is, in the above-mentioned conventional measurement data acquisition device, since the acquired measurement data is directly stored in the predetermined software, it is almost impossible to import the measurement data into the commercially available software.

Therefore, the measurement data cannot be freely processed, and the work efficiency is extremely poor.

The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional example, and a measurement data capturing device that can capture measurement data into commercially available software and can easily process the captured measurement data. Is intended to provide.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems] That is, the measurement data capturing device of the present invention has a converter for converting the measurement data into a key code in the housing, and a connector to which the electronic digital measuring device is connected and the data. It is characterized by having a connector for connecting to a keyboard connector of the processing device and a keyboard connecting connector.

[0008]

[Action]

 Since the measurement data acquisition device of this invention is configured as described above, it becomes possible to easily import the measurement data that has been acquired into commercially available software, and to use an electronic device such as a micrometer with a data output or a caliper. Various measurements using digital measuring instruments can now be performed easily and quickly.

Further, the measurement data described above can be freely processed, and the working efficiency can be greatly improved.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the measurement data acquisition device of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3 show an embodiment of the measurement data acquisition device of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a compact size housing of a measurement data fetching device, and a converter (not shown) for converting measurement data into a key code is built in the housing 1. In this code converter, the measurement data is code-converted by an encoder unit (TTL, MOS, 1 chip, microprocessor, etc.), and the transmission and reception of control signal data is controlled as an interface with the data processing device.

A plurality of connectors 2 to which electronic digital measuring instruments are connected are provided on the front side of the opposite edges of the housing 1, and a connector 3 for connecting to a keyboard connector of a data processing device is provided on the rear side. Each keyboard connector 4 is provided. Reference numeral 5 denotes a foot switch connection jack provided on the edge of the connector 2 side.

Various switches are provided on the upper surface of the housing 1 for operating the converter for the key code. That is, 6 is a delimiter selection switch, 7 is a channel selection switch for selecting which channel of a plurality of connectors 2 to connect when using a foot switch, and 8 is a reset switch for resetting when an error occurs. Reference numeral 9 is a connection cable for connecting each connector.

FIG. 4 is a schematic perspective view of the measurement data capturing device connected to a data processing device. In the figure, reference numeral 11 is a data processing device including a personal computer and 12 is a keyboard. A plurality of electronic digital measuring instruments 13 are connected to a connector 2 on the front surface of the housing 1 by a connecting cable 9, and a foot switch 14 is also connected. Further, the connector 3 on the rear surface side is connected to the keyboard connector 15 of the data processing device 11 and the connector 4 is connected to the keyboard 12 via connection cables 9, respectively.

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which the measurement data capturing device is connected to a plurality of data processing devices. In the figure, the connector 3 of the housing 1 of one of the above-mentioned measurement data acquisition devices is connected to the keyboard connector 15 of the data processing device 11, and a plurality of housings 1 are connected in series using the connectors 3 and 4 and the last housing. The keyboard connector 4 of No. 1 is connected to the keyboard 12. By doing so, a large number of electronic digital measuring devices can be connected to the data processing device 11 via the measurement data capturing device.

An operation of taking in data from the electronic digital measuring instrument 13 using the measurement data taking-in device of the present invention will be described.

When the measurement data is output from the electronic digital measuring instrument 13, the measurement data is automatically fetched and output to the data processor 11 except when the foot switch 14 is used. At this time, the measured data taken in is converted into a key code by the converter as shown in FIG. 6 and then output to the data processing device. This is the same as inputting the numerical values in the upper part of FIG. 6 with the keyboard as in the lower part of FIG.

When the measurement data is output to the data processing device, for example, a delimiter of return, right cursor, and down cursor can be added. The delimiter selection switch 6 selects the delimiter. At this time, as shown in FIG. 7, the indicator lamp 16 attached to the delimiter selection switch 6 is turned on to indicate which switch is selected.

The delimiter selection switch 6 may be provided with a data output speed selection function. That is, for example, by pressing the delimiter selection switch 6 while pressing the reset switch 8, the data output speed from high speed to low speed is selected.
