Abstract

A measurement transmission system is provided for being coupled to a handheld measuring device (e.g., a caliper, micrometer, etc.) for wirelessly transmitting measurement data to a remote system (e.g., a personal computer). An energy generation portion may be included that converts work done by a user (e.g., operating a button, slide, lever, etc.) into electrical energy for powering the wireless transmission. A data hold actuator may additionally or alternatively be included for freezing a set of measurement data to be used for subsequent wireless transmission (e.g., to preserve the accuracy of the measurement in case the caliper jaws are accidentally moved). In response to receiving the measurement data, the remote system may send a successful transmission signal back to the measurement transmission system (e.g., which may be used to trigger transmission cycle termination operations, data holding release operations, providing a notification to a user confirming the successful transmission, etc.).
