Software That Allows
You to Communicate
With Any TCP/IP Network
Port Address
WinWedge Software captures serial
data, custom tailors it to your
specifications, then transfers the
data to any Windows application
either by sending keystrokes to the
application’s window or by passing
the data through DDE (Dynamic
Data Exchange) conversations.
WinWedge adds complete data
acquisition and instrument control to
any Windows application - Excel,
Access, LIMS, MMIs, etc. It is easily
set up in minutes, with no
programming, using a fully menudriven configuration program.
WinWedge collects data on any
serial port* (RS232, RS422 or
RS485) even multiple serial ports
simultaneously and quickly diagnoses
and corrects serial communications
problems with a powerful “analyze”
feature.
It also transmits, prompts or
commands out the serial port to
control or query your instruments
directly from within other Windows
applications or directly from
WinWedge. Think of WinWedge as
a fully customizable serial I/O
device driver.
WinWedge has a simple,
menu-driven step by step set-up.
With WinWedge you can easily
eliminate slow, error prone manual
data entry - without having to do
complex and time consuming custom
programming.
WinWedge 32 Pro
WinWedge 32 Pro is designed to
collect data from, and control, any
serial device, no matter how
complex the serial output or how
sophisticated the control required.
Use it with industrial and laboratory
instruments, quality and process
control devices, PBX systems,
PLCs, etc.
WinWedge 32 Pro supports
advanced parsing, filtering and
formatting of text, binary, hex, octal
and ASCII data. WinWedge 32 Pro
is a full 32 bit version for Windows
95, 98, NT, 2000 or XP. It supports
up to 100 COM ports, and all 32 bit
Windows features, such as long file
names, and it is 30% faster.
Expanded DDE support allows other
applications to completely control
WinWedge and all serial I/O. This
lets you create extremely powerful
data acquisition and device control
interfaces from within any Windows
application that supports DDE
(i.e. Excel, Lotus, Access, etc.).
Included with the WinWedge Pro
package you receive TCPWedge
software. TCPWedge lets you
communicate with any TCP/IP
network port address (Ethernet/
Internet) from any Windows
application. It is just like WinWedge 32
Pro but for TCP/IP communications
instead of serial I/O.
WinWedge 32
(Standard Edition)
WinWedge 32 (32-bit) Standard
Edition is designed to work with
simple devices, such as bar code
readers, electronic scales, calipers
and gages, or any other device that
transmits simple text data - either
single field data, comma delimited
data or fixed length data.
It supports basic prompting and
control of serial devices, selectable
input buffer size (up to 32K), date
and time stamps, and baud rates up
to 19,200 baud. WinWedge 32
supports up to 16 COM ports.
Activate WinWedge and watch your serial data pop into your application.
*RS422 and RS485 ports must appear as a standard RS232 port. OMEGA‘s OMG-ULTRA family of RS422/485 boards are recommended.

DOSWedge Pro
A DOS version of the software is also
available. DOSWedge PRO can
collect data from and control any
serial device. It fully supports
advanced parsing, filtering, and
formatting of serial data into any DOS
application as well as complete 2-way
serial communications. DOSWedge
Pro has a new extremely easy to
use Windows-style user interface
that lets you communicate with up
to 32 ports simultaneously. It also
includes a powerful new configuration
program with an integrated serial I/O
debugger that allows you to create,
maintain, and test different
configurations. DOSWedge Pro also
includes some of the advanced Pro
Version features described below.
Advanced Features of
All Pro Versions
• 30 powerful math functions
including scaling, conversions,
arithmetic and logical operators.
• Virtual Instrument Mode.
• Hot Key activated output strings
and Hot Key control.
• A Pre-Input Character Translation
table that can be used to simplify
complex input data record structures.
• Disk File Logging mode for serial
data. Use it to log serial data to a
file in the background.
• Extended support for 2-way I/O
to give you more options for
controlling serial devices.
• Support for any serial data
including Binary, Hexadecimal
and Octal as well as ASCII.
• Maximum field lengths up to 64K
(vs. 256 bytes in std.)
• Pro versions include FileWedge
software. FileWedge easily inputs
data from any disk file directly into
any Windows application.
FileWedge works just like
WinWedge except data is read
from a disk file instead of a
serial port.
• WinWedge 32 Pro includes the
TCPWedge software. TCPWedge
Select how you want the data collected.
Choose the communications parameters
for your serial device.
Define how you want the serial data to be
parsed, filtered, and translated.
