PRO-DESK MDS data set — Desktop data-collection kit with MDS 5.5 PRO and multi-device support (Microtech Metrology)

PRO-DESK MDS data set is a compact, ready-to-deploy solution for collecting measurement data from Microtech instruments and feeding it into Windows-based workflows, ideal for workshop benches and small lab environments.

• Complete MDS data-collection set
• Autoconnection and automatic syncing
• Includes DataMet button and footswitch
• Supports up to 40 simultaneous connections

Cut paperwork and speed up measurement cycles

The PRO-DESK MDS data set pairs the MDS 5.5 PRO Windows application with a hardware kit to remove repetitive manual entry. The kit's autoconnection feature automatically recognises attached Microtech instruments and assigns data channels, while the built-in zero setting streamlines reference captures. This reduces hand‑offs between measurement and data systems, shortens throughput times and improves process repeatability by ensuring that each measurement is captured electronically and consistently.

Centralised capture from multiple instruments

Designed for busy benches and small-scale test rigs, the set supports up to 40 connections and ships with USB dongles and short cables for rapid deployment. Centralised capture means readings from several gauges or probes are aggregated into a single dataset, enabling faster statistical checks and quicker decision-making on the shop floor. The net effect is less context switching for operators and a measurable improvement in data availability for quality control.

Hands-free capture and reliable reference control

The kit includes a desktop DataMet Button and allows the use of optional footswitches or additional push-buttons for hands-free data collection and to trigger zero setting without interrupting a setup. Hands-free capture reduces handling-induced variation and accelerates routine inspections. For procedures requiring tactile control, physical triggers provide immediate confirmation of a captured reading and help maintain operator ergonomics during repetitive tasks.

Seamless Windows integration and safeguarded data flow

The supplied MDS 5.5 PRO app runs on Windows and supports multiple connection modes and automatic data synchronisation, making transfer to inspection software or spreadsheets straightforward. Connection modes permit local buffering when networks are variable and ensure that no readings are lost during brief interruptions. Explaining the term: data synchronisation here means measured values are matched to timestamps and instrument IDs so traceability is preserved for quality documentation.

A practical fit for workshop and lab workflows

Beyond technical capability, the set is built for pragmatic use: quick physical installation, simple software setup and clear visual feedback during capture. The collected data is suitable for standard SPC tasks or for feeding into existing measurement systems, reducing manual transcription and potential human error. Taken together, the configuration supports faster inspection cycles and a more reliable audit trail—advantages that benefit production technicians and quality engineers alike.
