FAQS

If you are using an electronic height gage, it will be capable of transmitting measurement information to a computer. However, some height gages go beyond this maneuver and are hooked up to the computer through a wireless connection. For a successful wireless set up with your height gage, you need a transmitter and a receiver, just like you do for wireless internet. The major advantage of wireless communication with height gages is that it eliminates the nuisance of having a wire connecting the tool to the computer and getting in the way of the operator. One potential risk of working with a wireless height gage is that there may be signal interference, or a problem with the transmission of the measurement information. However, the modern wireless height gage is advanced to handle this risk and is well-equipped to protect against any interference. Additionally, wireless transmission eliminates possible transcription errors, keyboard mistakes, missing data, and any number of other manual issues with data coding.
