USB-Dongle STANDARD für Windows (max 3 Verbindungen)

USB Dongle for Windows by Microtech Metrology

The USB Dongle for Windows connects Microtech measuring instruments wirelessly to the MDS application for Windows, enabling stable data transfer across workshop and inspection workflows.

• Wireless connection up to 50 meters
• Standard: connects up to 3 instruments simultaneously
• PRO: connects up to 8 instruments simultaneously
• Includes 1 m MDS USB extension cable
• Required only for MDS software for Windows, not for mobile apps

Reliable wireless data transfer that simplifies measurement collection

The Microtech USB Dongle provides a stable and secure wireless link for computerized and wireless measuring instruments within a range of up to 50 meters, which supports smooth data capture in production and quality control. Unlike the U-WAVE technology of Mitutoyo, Microtech’s approach reduces hardware complexity: connectors and multiple transmitters are eliminated, and only one dongle is required to receive data on a Windows PC. Smartphone transfers to iPhone, iPad and Android devices occur directly from the measuring instrument, streamlining mobile workflows and reducing integration effort.

Clear variant choice and straightforward Windows integration

Two variants cover common workshop needs: the STANDARD USB dongle allows simultaneous connection of up to three Microtech instruments, while the PRO USB dongle supports up to eight devices. Each set includes a 1 m MDS USB extension cable to simplify physical installation at a PC. Note that this dongle is required only for the MDS application for Windows and is not used with MDS applications for iOS, macOS, Android or in HID modes, which keeps system architecture predictable and helps when planning data flows to SPC or CAQ systems.

Consistent results through manual measuring force control

The system supports manual measuring force control, which can be set depending on the material and the application. By adjusting the measuring force and locking it in, the device ensures that the same pressure is applied for each measurement; measurement values are recorded only when the preset force is reached. This feature increases reproducibility, protects delicate surfaces from overpressure and reduces operator-dependent variation in repetitive inspection tasks.

Designed for workshop, lab and shop-floor environments

This USB Dongle is suited for workshops, inspection benches and small production lines that rely on digital calipers, micrometers, indicators and bore gauges. The compact receiver reduces clutter at the PC and supports efficient logging into the MDS application for Windows. For teams needing assistance with selection, setup or integration into existing measurement procedures, METAV Werkzeuge offers competent support and advice tailored to complex or high-value instruments.
