Based on user-feedback a new service release of the data acquisition software TWedge is announced. TWedge V2.1 installs and runs on all current Windows-based operating systems (32 bit and 64 bit). V2.1 introduces: User Input Functionality: The new function 'InputBox' allows a user to enter data in real-time (validation is optional). Clipboard Access Functions: The clipboard functions "CopyToClipboard" and "GetFromClipboard" were introduced. These functions are useful for larger amounts of data, where a simulation of keystrokes is not feasible or too slow. Multiple Control Strings: Now it is possible to send a combination of key constants and modifier keys using the '+' character' (e.g.: "{CTRL+f}" or "{CTRL+SHIFT+h}"). Multiple modifier keys can be now processed through multiple control string. Improved User Interface (GUI): Toolbar and application icons were redesigned. TWedge V2.1 was released on 04-29-2009.
