TWedge Software Wedge 2.0.0

 TWedge Software Wedge 2.0.0 provides you with a tool which extends arbitrary systems and databases with real-time data acquisition. Modifications of the target systems are not required!

You can use this software wedge with RS232, serial, Bluetooth®, USB and TCP/IP interfaces. Captured data can be forwarded to databases, applications and ERP systems (like SAP® R/3®) - through ODBC, file access or keystroke simulation (keyboard wedge).

Automated data acquisition with TWedge - Keyboard Wedge, Software Wedge, Barcode Wedge: this data acquisition software extends programs and databases with real time data collection. Data from RS232, RS485, USB, Bluetooth and TCP/IP interfaces (e.g. barcode readers, barcode scanners, gauges, controller, scales, ...) is captured easily with applications and databases. TWedge provides flexible, scriptable data acquisition without any programming.

Major Features:

1. Serial Interfaces and TCP/IP: TWedge communicates with devices in a bi-directional way. These devices are connected locally (serial interface - RS232, RS485, USB, Bluetooth®) or via TCP/IP.
2. Scripting: TWedge can be scripted completely: The integrated JavaScript® engine was extended with functions for database operations, file access, keystroke and function key simulation, application control and much more.
3. Use-Case Templates: Ready-to-use scripts for common data acquisition scenarios (e.g. keyboard wedge) are provided.
4. Database Access: Collected data can be entered directly into databases (ODBC database access).
5. File Access: Direct read/write file access from within the data acquisition script.
6. Hotkey Support Adjustable hot keys can be used to perform arbitrary data collection functions (e.g. querying a connected device for data).
7. Timer Support: Data acquisition tasks may be performed on a regularly base (device polling, device triggering).
8. Keyboard Wedge: Received data can be converted into virtual keystrokes (keyboard wedge functionality). Keyboard simulation is available for all function keys and control keys (e.g. TAB, Alt, Ctrl, Enter, F1, ...). The automatic selection of the correct input field in the target application (setting the focus) is supported.
9. Application Control: The data acquisition script can be used to start applications or to bring them into the foreground. Depending on device data or on other values (e.g. a database lookup) the collected data can be redirected to different applications.
10. Data Logging: TWedge is also a powerful data logging software: The automatic data logging feature enables you to archive received device data for reporting or debugging requirements.
11. Background Operation: TWedge can be operated as minimized application in the task bar (like the system clock). It does not influence other applications.
12. Enterprise Deployment: Distribution and deployment of configuration files for this keyboard software wedge is extremely easy and safe. If required configuration files are encrypted and password protected.
13. Operating Systems: TWedge is available for Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows 2008, Windows Vista.
