USB Keyboard Interface for Digimatic Tools

The Mitutoyo 264-012-10 connects a Digimatic measuring instrument such as a micrometer or caliper to a computer via USB. It presents measurement data as keystrokes so values appear directly in any application that accepts keyboard input. The unit requires a separate SPC cable to link with the measuring instrument. It is built for quality-control technicians who need to log readings without manual entry.

USB 2.0 and 1.1 Connectivity

The interface plugs into a USB 2.0 or 1.1 port and draws power from the bus. Data flows at the speed allowed by the USB 1.1 specification, which is sufficient for the serial output of Digimatic instruments. No external supply or driver installation is required on supported operating systems. The connection is limited to one instrument at a time through the SPC cable.

Practical Limits of the USB Interface

The USB 1.1 bandwidth caps the maximum data rate well below the 2.0 theoretical maximum. This restricts how quickly consecutive readings can be streamed into the host software. Users needing simultaneous multi-gauge capture or high-speed continuous logging will find the single-channel keyboard emulation insufficient. The device does not appear as a virtual COM port, so applications expecting serial data cannot use it directly.

Questions about this item

Will the 264-012-10 interface work with my older Mitutoyo Digimatic calipers?

Yes, it accepts data from Mitutoyo Digimatic measuring instruments such as micrometers or calipers when connected with a compatible SPC cable.

How can I confirm the 264-012-10 is sending measurements to the PC correctly?

Open a text editor or spreadsheet; each measurement should appear as keystrokes at the cursor position when you press the instrument's data button.

Does the box include the SPC cable needed to link my micrometer?

No, the package contains only the USB Input Tool interface; a suitable SPC connection cable for your measuring instrument must be purchased separately.
