it into visiting researcher’s PC and Mac laptops before with no issues, and we use macOS here in the OSUM Mollusk div.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="xxmsonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I use a SPI digiMax 30-440-2, which is a fiberglass digital caliper. It works really well. I have hated every other pair of fiberglass digital calipers I have ever encountered, but I’ve tested this model
against a set of iGaging Absolute Origin calipers in the museum and have not found major differences in accuracy, though the iGaging model is more precise (to +-.001, if memory serves, whereas the digimax only goes +-.1).

<p class="xxmsonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="xxmsonormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I would recommend the iGaging Absolute Origin Calipers if you are measuring objects that are not fragile or crushable. They’re nice because you can hook them up to a computer via USB data cable for automated
measurement entry. Would LOVE it if there were an accurate fiberglass caliper with a data cable.
