Setup is as Easy as 1-2-3

  1. Select your device's parameters.

    Connect your device to your PC's serial or USB port (installing any necessary drivers) and use the WinWedge interface to select your device's communications settings, such as the COM port, baud rate, parity, data bits, and stop bits.

  2. Define the data structure.

    Intuitive, walk-through menus allow you to tailor the data to your needs by splitting the record into multiple fields, filter out certain characters, or format the data to meet your requirements. You can also easily define hot keys and buttons to send serial commands to your device or perform other tasks.

  3. Select the mode and activate!

    Select from either Keystrokes Mode, DDE Server Mode, or Log to Disk, specify the target application or file, and activate WinWedge! Watch as the data from your device “pops” into the Windows application you selected. You can even input the device data directly to a chart or use Excel's built-in functions to peform real-time analysis.
