Mitutoyo manufactures a line of devices which output a serial
data position report. Mitutoyo USA can't be bothered to respond to
information requests unless they feel 10K unit orders are in the
offing, so phrase your inquiries accordingly.

p.s. devices are referred to generically as 'SPC' devices.
