I remember reading somewhere that plugs were available for thos calibars and you could plug them into some kind of read out. Bernd |

If it was explained in a thread some where else how this works I must have missed it. Bernd --- End quote --- Bernd, The cables were sources on ebay for about $1.50 each with free shipping. They are four pin each end. I cut them at three feet and soldered the wires directly to the scale heads' circuit board. The pin designation to the board is on shumatech.com. Barry |

Any chance of a few close up pics of your Shumatech holder/arm support? Something I haven`t finished yet. Chris --- End quote --- Chris, Here is what I came up with. Barry |

One more question? Are you using the batteries in the calibers to power them? Bernd |

Bernd --- End quote --- The DRO-350 provides power to the scales so the batteries are not necessary. It's common to replace them with capacitors to help reduce noise being introduced to the signal. |
