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

Are those cables that plug into the reading head of the calibers? Are those cables supplied with the readout box. If it was explained in a thread some where else how this works I must have missed it.

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.

Ok, thanks. One more question? Are you using the batteries in the calibers to power them?

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.
