WinWedge Standard 3.4
Introduction
WinWedge Standard is designed to work with simple devices such as bar code readers, electronic scales, calipers and gauges, or any other device that transmits simple text data, either single field data or comma delimited data.
WinWedge Standard has two modes for passing incoming serial data directly to other programs: a "Keystroke Mode", where incoming data is passed to other programs as keystrokes, and a "DDE Server Mode" that passes data to other programs using Dynamic Data Exchange. The DDE capabilities allow you to do things like write simple macros in Excel that perform fully bi-directional serial I/O functions.
The Standard edition has basic parsing and filtering capabilities for dealing with either fixed length or delimited data records. It also has hot keys that you can define for sending prompts via a serial port to a device, as well as a full character translation table for translating individual characters to either specific keystrokes or to other characters.
