TWedge Redefines Flexibility  +TEC-IT   proudly introduces the smart data collection software   TWedge Version 3 . RELEASED as of May 22, 2014!! TWedge is more than just a keyboard wedge - this software tool makes automated data acquisition with serial ports (RS232, RS485 and virtual COM ports), Bluetooth ® , TCP, UDP and USB HID devices extremely easy. The collected data can be stored directly in files or databases, forwarded to target applications via keystroke simulation (keyboard wedge), entered into spreadsheets like Microsoft Excel, sent to web-services, and so on. It is even possible to use TWedge as protocol converter and convert data between interfaces (e.g., COM to TCP). All aspects of the data acquisition logic can be configured with the integrated scripting capabilities. The new version was rewritten from scratch and offers unmatched possibilities, advantages and capabilities. To put it simply: With TWedge V3, data acquisition has become "Nifty as Ne...

Wireless Barcode-Scanner TEC-IT is proud to publish a new Android app named Wireless Barcode Scanner . It is used as simple and cost-saving alternative to handheld Bluetooth barcode scanners . Scanned bar-codes are sent via Bluetooth to the connected PC Wireless Barcode Scanner scans bar-codes with the built-in camera and transmits the data immediately via Bluetooth™ to your PC or Mac. Linear and 2-D codes are supported. Additional software is not required. The scanned bar codes are available immediately via a virtual serial port (COM or RS232 port) on your computer using standard tools. Features Wireless Barcode Scanner is extremely easy to setup and use . Just pair your computer with your Android and scan bar-codes remotely. That's it. The app detects and decodes common linear and 2D bar-codes fast and reliable . Wireless Barcode Scanner is able to scan bar-codes in single-shot or batch mode . In single-shot mode barcodes are scanned one by one, in batch...

Dealing with a Microvision ROV barcode scanner can be quite tricky. Of course, the device is scanning bar-codes immediately. But the data is sent in a special format and requires a confirmation by the receiver. That's the reason for this blog entry. By default the ROV scanner (in our case a MS2200-BT) buffers all scanned bar codes internally. The receiver (e.g. your PC or smartphone) is required to confirm each received bar code to delete it from the ROV's memory. If such a confirmation is missing the ROV scanner sends the same bar code over and over. The ROV scanner appends a 4 digit serialization number to each scanned bar-code. This serialization number is sent (along with the barcode data) to the receiver. The receiving device is required to acknowledge the bar-code by sending back the serialization number along with an appended ACK character (hex 06) to the ROV scanner. Now let's demonstrate how to configure TEC-IT's software wedge TWedge to work with a Mi...

BluePiano Bluetooth Input Method for Android The input method BluePiano extends Android with Bluetooth data acquisition . This new input method provides a Bluetooth-enabled soft-keyboard . This soft-keyboard captures Bluetooth data and forwards the received data to input fields of arbitrary apps. The data appears as entered by the user (watch the video on YouTube). BluePiano is typically used for barcode scanning with external Bluetooth barcode-scanners or for generic data acquisition tasks (e.g. to capture raw external GPS or medical device data). English, German, French, Russian and Swedish keyboard layouts are available. BluePiano is easy to use and provides you with connectivity feedback in the notification bar. For backup purposes BluePiano is also able to scan barcodes using camera barcode scanners (using the built-in or an external camera scanner app). BluePiano works with all Bluetooth SPP devices (Bluetooth devices supporting the Serial Port Profile, RFCOMM)....

Are you looking for a basic inventory solution or you are just interested in registering items based on their barcode? The data acquisition software TWedge provides an elegant solution - TWedge captures data from arbitrary devices (like a serial or USB barcode scanner) and can be configured to store captured data directly into any ODBC database. Additional database software is NOT required!   Smart Software Wedge Configuration of TWedge is extremely flexible: The data acquisition functionality can be configured to meet your exact requirements. TWedge is able to perform read/write access to files, databases and may also simulate keystrokes. To implement the required functionality you need: A serial (or USB) barcode scanner. The used COM port as well as the interface parameters are important (most likely it will be 9600,N,8,1 - meaning 9600 bits per second, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit) TWedge ( download ) Determine Bluetooth COM Port For this example I use...

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...
