Software for Mobile Data Acquisition

Image
TEC-IT released the new version of TWedgeCE - a software wedge for mobile devices . What is TWedgeCE? TWedgeCE captures data from external devices and translates them into virtual keystrokes. It acts as middleware between arbitrary data acquisition devices (like scales, gauges, barcode scanners, RFID controllers, etc.) and software applications like Pocket Excel or Mobile Internet Explorer. TWedgeCE operates in the background of the mobile device and can be configured easily via simple configuration files. Highlights: Version 2.0 is able to work with devices via the following interfaces: Serial / RS232 Bluetooth (native Bluetooth, no virtual COM ports required!) TCP/IP (client mode) TCP(IP (server mode) UDP (client mode) TWedgeCE is able to check device connectivity (I-Am-Alive), it recovers lost connections automatically (this is especially of interest for WLAN or Bluetooth connections) and finally introduces an anti-jitter feature. Availability: The mobile software wedge is available...

Software Wedge - Data Acquisition Software

Beside barcode, labeling and reporting software TEC-IT offers software tools for data acquisition . One of these tools is named TWedge - a software wedge. The main purpose of such a software wedge (also named keyboard wedge ) is to transform data read from an external device (connected via RS232, RS485, serial, COM, USB, Bluetooth or TCP/IP) into keyboard strokes. These keyboard strokes are then be forwarded to arbitrary applications. Using such middleware it is possible to automate data acquisition tasks - even with software applications which are not able to communicate with devices directly (e.g. like using a serial barcode scanner with Microsoft Excel). The existing version of TWedge fulfills its main purpose perfectly. Serial data is captured and forwarded to applications. But customers often require powerful possibilities for adjusting and modifying data prior it is forwarded to a target application. The solution to this problem? Scripting! The new version of TWedge supports J...
