The PC Link Plus and PC Link application allows you to log measuring data into PC through RS232C port with SANWA Digital Multi Meter PC series. Measuring data is transferred to PC Link Plus or PC Link and appear in a graph on window in an instant. Data logged can be saved in PC as a file (csv file format). Logged data can be analyzed more detail with an application such as spreadsheet application software.

PC Link System Transforms the Research Lab

Yoshikazu Hoshimura Associate Professor Nihon University Teaches electronics at the graduate level at Department of Precision Machinery Engineering, College of Science & Technology, Nihon University. Actively working to solve environmental problems through applied materials research and development.

Associate Professor Hoshimura came across the PC Link System in a shop in Akihabara, Tokyo. Since then, this system, combining a PC with a digital multi-meter (DMM), has greatly improved work efficiency in the research lab.

Improves Work Efficiency Dramatically
"Using this system, work that was expected to take two years was completed in two hours. This is no exaggeration. I was truly amazed."

PC Link System sends data measured by the DMM to PC and saves it as data file. In the past, values had to be read from the recorder graph and converted to data file, but not any longer. The system allows real-time display of measured data in graphs. It is also convenient for confirmation and monitoring.

Enables PCs to Process Diverse Data
"This system has been a great help to students when making reports. Processing different data has become so much easier."

Since PC Link System can save data as CSV files, secondary processing and analysis are easy with spreadsheet software. Making convincing and effective reports with graph data is nearly effortless with word processing software.

Overwhelming Cost Performance
"You can assemble the system for less than 50,000 yen. With other systems, the hardware and software can sometimes cost up to several million yen."

For PC Link System's many users, cost performance is one of its outstanding features, and one that will continue to improve.
