Serial data

Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best, and that can be the case
in data acquisition too. If you’re working in
a lab, for example, maybe all you need is to get realtime data from a standard
instrument – a
balance, a gauge or a pH meter, an analyser or a densitometer, or perhaps
just a simple identifier such as a barcode or magnetic stripe reader – into
your PC.
Almost all these devices have an RS-232 interface,
so in an age when most of us have more USB peripherals than available ports,
why not stream in the data through your serial port?
All it takes is a simple piece of software: WinWedge.With
this clever utility, you can collect and feed serial data directly into
Excel, databases, LIMS systems,MMIs, statistical and SPC software, data
analysis or any other Windows application. It’s
simple to set up and operate, needs no programming and can send data simultaneously
from multiple instruments to different applications or different fields
within the same application.
The very latest version, WinWedge Pro 4, sits
conveniently in your system tray, and offers the additional capability
of sending keystrokes to Citrix Windows and even DOS applications. It also
brings compatibility up to date with the latest versions of programs such
as Excel.
