ABSTRACT:
A method of and an apparatus (10) for acquiring measurement data from a gage (54, 62) generating a measurement signal representing a dimensional measurement includes a CPU (46) for setting a dwell range representing desired high and low limits for a value of the measurement signal, setting a dwell time representing a desired time period during which the signal value must be within the dwell range, monitoring the signal value generated by the gage at an input port (52, 60) and accumulating an elapsed time beginning when the signal value enters the dwell range, and recording the signal value in a memory (48) when the elapsed time equals the dwell time. The CPU (46) resets the elapsed time when the signal value exits the dwell range and generating an indication by activating an LED indicator (108) when the elapsed time equals the dwell time. The CPU (46) transmits the signal value to a data collection device (70) connected to an output port (68).
