Can anyone suggest a Digital dial gague insted of using a probe

Could you not write some code to automate the process you are currently doing and store the values?

Jonathan, I already do this and write the values into a file which I then import into some other software I have written. It is reading the values from a dti that I am unsure about. Do they output grayscale values as do rotary encoders or is it some propitiatory format, I havent got a scope to be able to check.

With respect to that I recently bought a six inch scale from arc see Digital Readouts with Dedicated Remote Display - Arc Euro Trade . I wonder if anyone can tell me the protocol used by this slide has anyone put a scope on it yet?

Sorry for spelling gauge wrong in the title, had a senior moment
