High-speed wireless data collection for your Mitutoyo Digimatic hand tools.
SMALL TOOL INSTRUMENTS
AND DATA MANAGEMENT
U-WAVE
Measurement data wireless communication system
U-WAVE
The U-WAVE system enables easy wireless data communication from a measuring tool to a PC using the Digimatic
protocol. Measurement workability is improved by eliminating the long and cumbersome data cables usually required
and, coupled with MeasurLink Real-time, enables high-speed data collection and reduces operator error.
In addition, the friendly user interface allows data to be input to any software product that accepts keyboard input,
such as Excel® or Notepad.
1
U-WAVE-T units transmit data from measuring tools
to U-WAVE-R at the press of a button or footswitch
3
Measurement data can be input
straight to MeasurLink Real-Time.
Charts are updated automatically.

The U-WAVE-R receives
data from the U-WAVE-T
and sends it to the PC
via a standard USB port

U-WAVE
Dustproof and waterproof IP67 model
Reception is reported by LEDs (and a beep sound)
IP67-type U-WAVE-T (02AZD730D) is dust and waterproof to IP67 level..
This model can be used in combination with, for example, a coolant-proof
caliper, micrometer or indicator.
The U-WAVE-T main unit has two LEDs and a buzzer* that provide
feedback on data transmission status.
*Beep indication is supported by the buzzer type 02AZD880D only.
The green LED blinks when data
is successfully received.
The red LED blinks when data
reception fails.
U-WAVEPAK, the U-WAVE-R standard software package features a
keyboard interface function. This allows measurement data to be easily
sent to Excel®, Notepad or other applications that accept numeric values
input via a keyboard.
A short beep sounds twice.
A long beep sounds once.
In addition, a virtual COM driver allows measurement data to be input in
to a program that supports RS-232C serial communication and a baud
rate of 57,600 bps.
Because different frequencies are used, radio interference does not occur
even when multiple devices are used in the same communication range.
Easy loading in Excel format
Approximately 400,000 data transmissions
One commercially available CR2032 lithium battery can be used for about
400,000 data transmissions.
Assuming that the device is used twenty days a month, sending data
2,000 times a day, one battery would last for about ten months.
Up to 100 measuring tools can be connected to one
U-WAVE-R unit
Up to 100 U-WAVE-T units can be registered with one U-WAVE-R unit,
and up to 16 U-WAVE-R units can be connected via a commercially
available USB hub.
Data communication range up to 20 m possible
The maximum reliable communication range is approximately 20 m*.
Even when multiple U-WAVE-R units are used within the range of 20
m, interference does not occur since a unique ID (00 to 99) is assigned
to each unit. Radio interference between U-WAVE-R units can also be
avoided by setting different frequencies (selected from 15 bands).
Different frequencies ensure no radio interference
Cordless operation improves workability in
measurement data recording
Measurement on a surface plate
Due to the cordless nature of U-WAVE, the surface plate and PC
workstation no longer need to be adjacent, enabling inspectors more
flexibility in the inspection room.
Measurement of large workpieces
With U-WAVE, operators can navigate large workpieces and perform
measurements without the restriction of cables.
Measurement using long measuring tools
Long measuring tools are hard to handle, but U-WAVE eliminates cable
constraints and improves workability.
Substantial cost reduction compared with Mitutoyo's
Mu-WAVE system
With a variety of functional improvements, this product is now available at
a lower price due to substantial cost reductions.
*The range achievable depends on the local radio transmission characteristics.

Just pressing a button loads measurement data
onto a PC through wireless communication.
To enable wireless data transfer the following items are required:
1. Mitutoyo measuring tool with Digimatic output
This product can be connected to a measuring tool that provides data
output in Digimatic format, which is a Mitutoyo proprietary standard. The
Digimatic specifications have remained unchanged since the first Digimatic
measuring tool was released. Therefore any tool having a Digimatic port
can be used, regardless of whether the instrument is new or old, although
note that the connectors on some older instruments are not compatible
with the connectors used on the cables listed below.
3. U-WAVE-T
U-WAVE-T sends measurement data to U-WAVE-R. Select the IP67 or the
buzzer model, according to application.
2. Connection cable
A short cable is used to connect a measuring tool to its U-WAVE-T unit.
Select the appropriate cable from A to G below (7 types) to suit the
measuring tool. Types A, B and C incorporate a data pushbutton.
Supplied with a clip
for cable fixing
The buzzer model has a perforated casing to
allow sound transmission so it is not IP rated.

U-WAVE-T holder kit
Data is output by a contact signal from the footswitch
(937179T).
A plastic mounting plate is provided to enable the U-WAVE-T unit and
measuring tool to be held together by means of adhesive-backed hook
and eye fasteners. This method makes attaching/detaching the tool and
U-WAVE-T unit quick and convenient. Batteries can be replaced without
needing to detach the tool.

screws should be tightened only just
sufficiently to grip. Repeated removal
of these screws should also be
avoided for the same reason.

Note: Other measuring tools than the above-mentioned can also be used if they have a flat area big enough to accept
the detachable fastener (refer to the dimensions on the mounting drawing). However, note that the positional
relationship of the connector and U-WAVE-T unit needs to be carefully considered when establishing the
connecting cable run.
