Starrett supports the DataGet system

Fremont CA -- The LS Starrett company (NYSE:SCX), the largest and oldest US gauge manufacturer, has started to resell the DataGet system. As part of the agreement, Tescina, Inc. developed a new DataGet cartridge connecting Starrett gauges to the Visor handheld.

Starrett is world renowned for high quality and good design, so the new DataGet cartridge is built for simple and reliable use. As the leading data collector for the Palm OS, Tescina used their experience to select the follow features.

The cartridge connects one or two Starrett gauges to the handheld. For example, with a caliper and digital tape measure, cubic volumes of wood stocks can be measured very efficiently. The AutoWake technology turns on the handheld when a gauge sends data. If the Visor is busy when the data arrives, the measurement is stored on the cartridge until the handheld is ready.

Very low power components were used in the design, so there is no need for extra batteries in the cartridge. To prevent damage from static discharge, ESD protection is provided on the exposed Starrett connectors.

The new cartridge retails for $499 and includes DataGet software. The combined hardware and software provide a powerful and easy to use data collector.

Tescina, Inc. was founded in 1997 to develop handheld data collection systems for manufacturers. In that time DataGet port has become the leading Palm based gauge interface. Besides DataGet port, Tescina also produces the critically recognized PocketLog software for barcode, attribute, and variable data collection.
