CimWorks / GageTalker GP-0602NT-H GagePort-NT Module

The CimWorks/GageTalker GP-0602NT-H is an 8-port GagePort-NT module that interfaces electronic measuring instruments with PC-based data acquisition systems. It converts gage output to standard ASCII format for transmission via serial COM port, enabling real-time measurement data collection in manufacturing and quality control environments. The module supports digital, BCD, and analog measuring devices through type-specific FlashCable connections. Its Software Wedge feature allows direct keyboard buffer input into existing PC applications without code modification.

Technical Specifications Input Signal Types

Digital gages with RS-232, Mitutoyo, Federal Maxum, CDI, Fowler/Sylvac protocols

BCD gages

Analog gages with DC outputs (LMI, column gages, torque wrenches)

LVDTs and Half-bridge probes Port Configuration The GP-0602NT model provides 8 ports optimized for LVDT and Half-bridge probe connections. GagePort-NT modules are available in 2-port, 4-port, and 8-port variants. Data Transmission Output converts to standard ASCII format via serial COM port connection to host computer. Multiple modules interconnect using a GagePort Multiplexer, supporting up to 32 total gages on a single PC. Power Supply Requires dedicated GagePort Power Supply, which furnishes both module power and PC cable connectivity.
