Mitutoyo mux-10, Digimatic indicator + Labview6.0
Hello,
I'm having troubles communicating between my Mitutoyo Mux-10 and Labview 6.0 through the com port.
I have connected 3 Mitutoyo Digimatic indicators to the Mux-10 and I want to read and log the measurements.
Labview 6.0 has two example vi's that communicate with the com port.
With "serial.vi", I can read the measurements of all 3 digimatic indicators at the same time, but I want to read the measurements of each digimatic indicator at a different time.
With "serial communication.vi", you can write a request string to one of the 3 indicators/channels that you want to read from. The problem is: I don't know that request string. I haven't got a data cheat of the Mux-10.
Does someone know this request string or does someone has a data cheat of the Mitutoyo Mux-10? That would be very helpfull.
Kind regards,
Kevin Van de Gaer

Re: Mitutoyo mux-10, Digimatic indicator + Labview6.0
I was able to find a copy of the MUX-10 manual, but it is not very descriptive. Mitutoyo has little support for this product (even on their Japanese website) presumably because there are newer devices available.
However the command set is quite simple - send a "1" followed by a carriage return to return the current reading from gage 1. Similarly 2<CR> reads gage 2 and so on. These are "polled" commands; the unit can also be triggered by the foot switch or front panel switch.
The DIP switches on the back panel set the baud rate; the highest rate available is 1200 baud (1200,NP,8,1S)
Hope this is helpful.

The manual is still available. Part numbers are 4211 or 99MBE019B depending on the generation. ASCII commands:1 CR = channel 12 CR = channel 23 CR = channel 3A CR = all channels 1,2,3B CR = channels 1,2C CR = channels 1,3D CR = channels 2,3

Re: Mitutoyo mux-10, Digimatic indicator + Labview6.0
Hello
I know that this post is very old but i hope anyone read my question and could help me.
Sorry for my english but i am from spain and my english is very poor.
I have a mux-10 of Mitutoyo, but i have lost the drivers and the user guide.
Now i make a program in VBA (excel) to do SPC (historiram, x-r chart,...) and i need pass the micrometer measure to a excel page.
I look for mux-10 uide and drivers in Mitutoyo page but i donīt found anything. I download the winkey program by Mitutoyo but it is for DMX model. Anyone can help me with a program, or drivers, or explain how pass the measure to excel. I have proram with the com1 configuration too, because i donīt know how define de baud rate in the mux-10. I have 8 bit and without guide i donīt know how combinate them to have the different rate.
I am not a programmer then i need a easy answer is it posible.
Thank you.
