DataSure Wireless Data Collection System
Maintain the Integrity of Your Data with Reliable Wireless Data Collection | | DataSure® — The Wireless Age Reaches the Factory Floor
Actually, it reaches anywhere measurements are taken with electronic metrology tools.
Shop floors, labs, quality assurance departments — they can all benefit from the unique capabilities of the new DataSure wireless data collection system from Starrett.
Cost-effective for bench-top or shop-wide data collection, DataSure systems can cover thousands of square feet while reliably protecting the integrity of the vital measurement data being collected.
What is Wireless Data Collection?
Wireless data collection systems consist of three primary elements: miniature radios (called End Nodes) that are attached to the data output ports of electronic tools, a Gateway that connects to a PC, and Routers that extend the system's range and make the radio network more robust.
DataSure gathers data from electronic measuring tools and delivers it to a PC. The data can then be analyzed by your statistical process control (SPC) application. With DataSure you can say goodbye to your manual and wired data collection systems. Why Go Wireless?
A wireless data collection system can significantly reduce human error in data recording. It removes wiring-related placement, installation, safety and cost issues. And, it makes it easier for you to bring a precision measuring tool to the work, rather than having to bring work to the measuring tool.
If this sounds like something you could use in your shop, just wait until you learn more about DataSure from Starrett — the ultimate wireless data collection system.

| A Comprehensive, Robust Solution
There are other wireless data collection systems available, but only DataSure offers a complete, robust solution, maintaining data integrity for accurate recording.
• The safe delivery of your data is ensured even in the hostile environment of electrically noisy shops, thanks to proprietary Starrett technology.
• Each measurement is time-stamped and logged into a database. DataSure sends a signal to assure you that data is received at the PC . There's no reason to wonder what happens to your data — the system sends a confirmation signal when it is successfully received.
 • If receipt is not acknowledged at the host SPC system, DataSure will store up to 10 readings and resend them until they are safely recorded. With DataSure, there's no need to worry about losing an entire shift's worth of collected data.
• DataSure adapts to all major brands of electronic measuring tools, and a variety of software and tools, so you don't have to invest in proprietary technology.
• It installs easily on a standard business-use PC (requires Windows® XP Professional OS), and works with most SPC software packages, including Starrett Shop Floor Pro™, SPC Excel™ IV, Factory SYstems, Infinity QS®, CIM Works, SPC Express, SPC+® II and Microsoft® Excel®.
• DataSure's versatility means it will work in almost any environment. Its highly configurable system architecture adapts to your work environment. Each DataSure system supports up to 100 tools, and can be remotely accessed via your intranet connection.
Important Note: Currently DataSure is available in a 916 MHz version. This version is compliant and allocated to the ISM (industrial, scientific, medical) band for Region 2 of the world - North and South America. Regional restrictions may apply outside of the U.S. and Canada. | |

| | End Node | Router | Gateway |  |  | 
| The DataSure End Node plugs directly into most digital metrology tools. It sends measurement data, and indicates with a green light when that data has been received by the Gateway. | Each DataSure Router extends the system's range
in increments of 30 meters.
They ensure system robustness by providing alternate signal paths. | The DataSure Gateway is the central point for data collection and tool management. The Gateway plugs into your PC through a USB port. | End Node Features
