Option 2: One-touch Input via USB

There are 2 ways to load Surftest calculation results (SPC output) into commercial spreadsheet software on a PC via USB connection.

  1. Use the USB Input Tool 06AFM380D to connect the Surftest SJ-410 to the computer.
  2. Use the USB Input Tool 264-020 and this digimatic connection cable to connect the Surftest SJ-410 to the computer.

Option 3: Transfer Data to Excel Using Optional Free Software

Using the USB interface on the back of the Mitutoyo Surftest SJ-410 series Surface Roughness Tester, you can set up and start measurement via a PC using a Windows OS with Microsoft Excel. This USB cable (12AAD510) is required for the connection. There is a free program available on the Mitutoyo website (https://www2.mitutoyo.co.jp/eng/contact/products/sj/) that enables the creation of inspection record tables using a Microsoft Excel macro.

Option 4: Store Data on a Memory Card

Data can be stored on a memory card and recalled as required, allowing you to measure on-site and later print out or retrieve the data. 2 GB and 8 GB memory cards are available.
