' Can a WCM be used with an Orbit ACS Module or any Solartron readouts? - Answer: No. It will only work with Orbit3 .NET Driver Software. ' Can the WCM connect with the Wireless Multi Channel Handtool? - A: Yes ' Can a WCM run with the Protocol Interface Module (PIM)? - A: Not yet. This is planned for the future ' Can you change settings of the Wi Gauge handle through the WCM? - No. You can only do that through the Wireless Handtool Manager. To add that capability to the WCM and Orbit would take several months of programming. AMETEK ULTRA PRECISION TECHNOLOGIES
