Researching how to get my DISTO E7500i to connect with my iPhone and all roads lead to Serialio.com. SerialMagic Keys for iOS connects my DISTO E7500i to iOS, allowing me to post-laser distance measurements directly into Excel, on my iPad and iPhone. SerialMagic Keys also posts measurements to all apps, not just Excel.
