MDS Data Set PRO-DESK

PRO-DESK MDS data set — Data collection solution by Microtech Metrology

The PRO-DESK MDS data set is a compact, ready-to-use data collection solution for Microtech instruments, designed to simplify measurement logging and workstation integration.

• Plug-and-play data collection solution
• Autoconnection with zero-setting synchronization
• Includes MDS 5.5 PRO app for Windows
• Wireless transfer via USB dongles and direct tool output
• Supports up to 40 simultaneous connections

Faster data capture, less manual work

The PRO-DESK MDS data set bundles hardware and software to provide a direct path from measuring instrument to data repository. The MDS CONNECTION SET offers autoconnection and automated zero-setting so that readings arrive consistently formatted, reducing manual transcription and downstream correction. Integration with the MDS 5.5 PRO Windows app enables immediate logging and export for SPC workflows. This setup is aimed at workshops and production lines that require reproducible digital records and fewer operator steps.

Consistent measurement quality through controlled procedures

Built-in features focus on measurement reproducibility: measurement force control (Messkraftkontrolle) can be set manually so the same contact pressure is applied for every measurement; results are recorded only when the preset force is reached, ensuring consistent comparing of parts. The system also supports optional DataMet Buttons and a footswitch for hands-free capture, which helps maintain process discipline and reduces handling variation when inspecting serial parts.

Simple, flexible connectivity — easier than competing systems

Microtech’s data transfer approach is intentionally streamlined: a single USB dongle receives data on a PC, while transfers to iPhone, iPad and Android smartphones can be performed directly from the measuring tool. This design avoids the multiple connectors and transmitters typical of alternatives and is simpler than the U-WAVE technology from Mitutoyo. For shop-floor scenarios this means fewer connection steps, quicker deployment and a smaller spare-parts footprint.

Designed for integration and scalable workflows

The kit includes USB Dongles (PRO) and cabling to connect standard workstations, and the MDS 5.5 PRO software supports up to 40 simultaneous connections for multi-station setups. Optional accessories like the DataMet Desktop Button enable ergonomic capture at a central terminal. For teams that need centralised data collection or SPC integration, the PRO-DESK approach keeps the IT footprint small while supporting common export formats and routine measurement workflows.

FAQ

What kinds of instruments can the PRO-DESK MDS data set collect from and how is it managed?
The PRO-DESK MDS data set from Microtech Metrology collects readings from compatible Microtech measuring instruments and synchronizes zero settings automatically; management is handled via the MDS 5.5 PRO app for Windows and optional desktop buttons for centralised capture.

Can measurement force be controlled with the PRO-DESK MDS data set?
Yes, the system supports manual setting of the measurement force control (Messkraftkontrolle); Microtech Metrology equipment will register values only when the configured force threshold is reached, which ensures reproducible readings across repeated measurements.

What is a Messschieber?
Messschieber are calipers used for linear measurements; the PRO-DESK MDS data set supports digital capture from such instruments for straightforward logging.
