WinWedge Pro


RS232 Or TCP/IP Data Acquisition Software


RS232 Or TCP/IP Data Acquisition Software


WinWedge inputs serial data directly into any PC application. Collect data from Scales and Balances, Gages, pH/Electrochemistry Meters, Laboratory Instruments, Sensors, Densitometers, GPS Receivers, Barcode Scanners, Magnetic Stripe readers, ID Tag Readers, Telephone Systems etc... any RS232 instrument or device.

Input real-time data directly into EXCEL, ACCESS, LIMS, MMIs, Statistical software, VB, etc... any Windows or DOS application program.

WinWedge captures serial data, custom tailors it to your needs, then transfers the data to any Windows or DOS application - either by sending keystrokes to the application’s window or by passing the data through DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) conversations.

Specification:
WinWedge Pro is essentially a highly advanced set of applications that all work together to get data from practically any type of data source (RS232, TCP/IP or Disk File Data) directly into any application program running on a stand alone PC or across any TCP/IP network - including the Internet.
WinWedge also transmits prompts or commands out the serial port to control or query your instruments directly from within other Windows applications or directly from WinWedge. Think of WinWedge as a fully customizable serial I/O device driver.

It also has a more advanced data parser that allows you to parse, filter and format more complex data from more sophisticated devices. Some of the advanced features of the parser are the ability to work with raw binary or hex data, the ability to apply math expressions to individual data fields in a stream of data for the purpose of scaling the data or converting units (i.e. convert inches to millimeters, grams to ounces, etc.) You can also define format expressions in WinWedge Pro that allow you to do things like force a specific number of decimal places in numeric values or force data to contain an exact number or sequence of characters.

The professional Edition also has the ability to send or receive RS232 serial data across a TCP/IP network using two additional programs called TCP-Wedge and TCP-Com. TCP-Com is designed to expose a RS232 serial port to a TCP/IP port on a network and TCP-Wedge is designed to do the same job as WinWedge Pro except that it inputs data from a TCP/IP port instead of an RS232 serial port. With TCP-Com and TCP-Wedge, you could do things like connect a RS232 serial device to the serial port on one PC and then use TCP-Wedge to input data from that serial device directly into a program running on another PC somewhere in either the same network or across the Internet. For example, you could have a GPS receiver or a scale sending data into the serial port on a PC in New Zealand and then input the data from the device across the Internet directly into a spreadsheet running on a PC in Ireland.

In addition to the above, WinWedge Pro also comes with a program called File Wedge that does the same thing as WinWedge and TCP-Wedge except that it inputs data from a disk file. For example, you could use File Wedge to read data from a disk file and then feed that data directly into a database application as keystrokes or using DDE. You can think of File Wedge as a method for getting data that exists in a disk file into some other program where you would normally have to type the data in - without having to actually type anything. File Wedge would do all the typing for you.
