Starrett 2000SCM Smartcable Gage Mux - 2000-24 Height Gage

Starrett 2000SCM 6-foot smartcable connects the Starrett 2000-24 height gauge to a Starrett 7612 or 7613 4-port gauge multiplexer. The smartcable has a ten-pin connector and a Starrett 2000 series connector. The ten-pin connector on one end connects to the gauge multiplexer (also known as a mux), which connects multiple gauges to a computer for data input; the Starrett 2000 series connector on the other end connects to the Starrett 2000-24 height gauge. The Starrett 2000SCM smartcable is an accessory for use with the Starrett 2000-24 height gauge, which is an electronic, digital measuring device.

Height gauges, sometimes referred to as gages, are precision measuring instruments that travel on a vertical column (also called the beam) to measure and/or mark the vertical distance from the base of an object in fine units. The vertical position of the gauge and its attached pointer are changed by turning a calibrated screw, or one or more feed wheels. Recorded rotations are read from a scale, a dial, counters, and/or an electronic display. A screw clamp holds the pointer to the gauge. The pointer is typically sharpened to act as a scriber, and can be used to mark a position on a workpiece by scratching its surface. On compatible units, the scriber may be replaced by an electronic touch-signal probe. Height gauges are typically used in manufacturing, machining, and mechanical engineering.

The L.S. Starrett Company manufactures precision measuring tools, metrology and testing equipment, and saw blade products. The company, founded in 1880, is headquartered in Athol, MA.
