Hi David,

Thanks for that link. That saves me having to reverse engineer the
data format off the scope. A source of connectors would be nice.
Maybe I need to buy spare parts from a DRO maker.

Interestingly, I have calipers with two different connector
geometries. Both have the 4 gold-flashed PCB fingers but the
surrounding plastic differs. One is as shown at your link. The other
is more enclosed and clearly needs a differently housed plug. That's
what I love about standards - there's always such variety to choose
from!

John
