Ultrasonic thickness gauge by Arduino

Projects General Guidance

Hi

I am very new to arduino. I am thinking to use ardunio to control, transmit and display data from ultrasonic thickness gauge like the one in the photo attached. since it is a digital thickness gauge I was thinking to connect the ardunio to the output of the the board of the gauge then transmit the data via bluetooth shield to mobile app.
Here is some of the capabilities of the thickness device:

  • Ultrasonic Thickness Meter,
  • 10mm, 5MHz Transducer,
  • Thickness Range 1.2 ~ 225m
  • Thickness Resolution 0.1mm
  • LCD Digital Display
  • 10 pre-set velocities
  • Sound Velocity Range: 1000~9999m/s
  • Auto calibration
  • Low Battery Indication

What do you think? Is it feasible to control and transmit using arduino?

Does the gauge have a communication port of some kind? If not it will be difficult to control or get data from the unit.
