Hi Jeff, Paleo-tech (http://paleo-tech.com/index.cfm) sells some of the best electronic calipers around. They can also custom-build but that will take longer. These calipers use USB (PnP) connection and have two buttons (one on the caliper and one between the USB cable) that you can press to input data into, say, Excel. You can also purchase a foot paddle (extra), which may or may not make your life easier...

Is there new software or are electronic connectors such as those sold by the late Les Marcus compatible with these new machines? Thanks in advance for any help.
