TWedgeCE - Intelligent Data Acquisition

You need to input data from external devices - like a bar-code reader, a gauge, an electronic scale… - into your existing application?

Changing or reprogramming of your application software is not possible or not desired?

Automated selection of input fields would be nice? You know – this is not a matter of minutes or even impossible with keyboard scanners.

Device input should be redirected to different applications e. g. depending on data received?

Or you need to simulate control and function keys pressed by the user?

Your device might be either locally connected (serial port / RS-232) or accessable through Bluetooth?

After downloading and installing you have to configure TWedgeCE. Select the interface and adjust the communication parameters (e.g. Baud rate, flow control…). Keystroke simulation is very flexibly adjustable – you can define actions which are executed depending on input data.

If needed, you can adjust TWedgeCE to run as “Mini Application” in the taskbar – like the system clock.

TWedge operates in the background and does not influence other applications – like a watchdog. Whenever TWedge receives data it forwards it as keystrokes to the destination window. Depending on your defined keystroke rules TWedge can bring a desired window to foreground, start applications automatically or simulate function keys (and special keys like Return, Ctrl, Alt…).
