Embedded and Bluetooth wireless technologies provide convenience and enhance reliability of gauge computer and bore plugs

Marposs Corp. will introduce its Merlin gauge computer based embedded technology and its M1 Wave electronic bore gauge containing Bluetooth wireless technology. The new Merlin compact computer is designed for use on measuring applications where up to 16 characteristics can be displayed in numeric or graphical format together with basic statistical analysis. Merlin represents a new gauge computer concept for data collection from traditional or wireless measuring devices. It uses the same technologies created for today's PDA and portable electronic units and runs Microsoft Windows CE 5.0 software. Embedded technology with fan-less architecture and no moving parts assures a high level of system reliability. The new Merlin gauge computer incorporates an 8.4 in. color LCD touch-screen display with adjustable viewing angle fixed to a bench-top base. The unit can accept up to 16 sensors via USB or RS232 inputs or Bluetooth wireless technology. Data is retained in Flash Disk Media storage and can be transmitted via Ethernet LAN to local networks. The new Marposs M1 Wave electronic bore gauge with Bluetooth wireless technology provides unprecedented freedom and accuracy in a durable, easy-to-operate hand-held measuring device. Eliminating the traditional cable for electronic bore gauges avoids obstacles such as limited length, cable entanglement and breakage, leaving the operator free to work without movement limitations in the measurement process. The electronic plug gauge is connected directly to a special handle containing the wireless transmitter incorporating Bluetooth wireless technology and power supply using standard ‘C' type batteries. At the press of a button, real time measurement values are transmitted to the receiving electronic unit for immediate display and/or storage.
