USB BUTTONLINK™ OFFERS FASTER READ/WRITE PERFORMANCE
FOR BUTTONMEMORY^® CMB’s

MacSema, Inc. announces a USB compatible version of its ButtonLink probe. The USB ButtonLink takes advantage of enhanced data transfer rates offered by the industry standard USB interface to dramatically increase the speed that data can be read/written to ButtonMemory contact memory buttons (CMB’s). A USB ButtonLink is a handheld probe that is connected to a PC, laptop or tablet computer via the USB port and is used to read and write to CMB’s. The new device allows a 32K byte button to be read in less than two (2) seconds.

The USB ButtonLink is supported by a Software Developer’s Kit (SDK) that provides developers with two Application Program Interfaces (API’s): the ButtonLink API and the ButtonMemory API. The SDK also includes sample programs, with source code, as well as demonstration programs and documentation. The ButtonLink SDK supports the Microsoft Win32 development environment.

ButtonMemory CMB’s are rugged, battery free, read/write data storage devices. When attached to an asset a CMB serves as a rugged identifier and as an updateable electronic logbook that enables configuration management, maintenance record keeping and other logistical support functions throughout the asset’s life cycle. ButtonMemory CMB's are available in a variety of physical sizes (MicroButton™, MiniButton™, and MegaButton™) with memory capacities up to 512 Megabytes.

ButtonMemory technology is impervious to most operating environments, including: temperature extremes, radiation, electrostatic discharge (ESD), electromagnetic interference (EMI), electromagnetic pulse (EMP), shock, vibration, solvents and saltwater.
