TWedge: Data Acquisition Software for Barcode Scanners

Key Features

• Automated data acquisition with TWedge - Keyboard Wedge, Software Wedge, Barcode Wedge TWedge extends arbitrary software systems or databases with real-time data acquisition services.
• Modifications of the target system are not required!
• Within seconds device data from RS232, RS485, USB, Bluetooth or TCP/IP interfaces is captured with arbitrary applications, databases or ERP systems (e.g.
• barcode-scanner, scales, gauges, controller, PLC, RFID controllers, RFID tags, ...).
• This software wedge reads data from external devices automatically.
• The captured data is reliable transferred to target applications (e.g.
• to SAP R/3) via direct database (ODBC) or file access, or by simulating keystrokes (keyboard wedge mode).
• Each data acquisition requirement is solved by TWedge in an elegant, cost-effective and flexible way.
• This software wedge operates as background application (like the system clock), receives device data automatically and forwards it to target applications or databases via multiple methods in real time.
• Because of the script-based approach TWedge can be configured to meet all your requirements!
• Highlights: + bi-directional device communication + supports serial interface, RS232, RS485, USB, Bluetooth or TCP/IP + automatically recovers lost Bluetooth or TCP/IP connections + Scripting + Direct database access (ODBC) + Direct file access + Hotkey support + Timer support + Keyboard wedge mode + Data logging + Correct handling of binary device data like NULL + Background operation + Simple deployment
