Read data from any instrument directly into any PC program!

With complete support for bi-directional I/O, you can even transmit prompts or commands out the serial port to control your instruments directly from within any PC application. Or you can define button-activated, hot key activated or timer-activated output strings to control your instruments directly from SoftwareWedge.

Two levels of the SoftwareWedge are available for both DOS and Windows. The "Standard Editions" of the Wedge are designed to work with most simple instruments including electronic balances, bar code readers, gages or other devices that generate very simple text data.

The "Professional Editions" of the Wedge are more advanced products with many additional benefits including the ability to parse and filter more complex data structures, such as reports of data. They are designed to interface a wider range of instruments including telephone systems, PLCs, pH meters, titrators, and other instruments that generate more complex data. The Pro versions also provide numerous advanced benefits to help simplify data collection.
