While researching the above, I came across a web page
(with circuit diagrams and source code) that covers
converting a Starrett 737 Vertical LCD Scale mounted on the
quill of a JET JT830 vertical milling machine, to a large
Mitutoyo LCD Display readout:

Apparently, the SPC protocols of the two devices are incompatable
and therefore need translating, which Matt has done with a circuit.

Neat, but my quest continues to the search for the Mitutoyo scale pinouts.....
