There are many powerful electronic devices that can be connected to a PC through an RS232 interface. However, they are virtually useless without good accompanying software which can parse and filter the collected data storing it in an appropriate form for future analysis. FogSoft offers you a complete universal data collecting solution called ByteWedge. ByteWedge supports a wide range of devices, from lab equipment to office telephone systems. Unlike most competitors who provide only a basic DDE data exchange and require you to write sophisticated scripts to parse the input, ByteWedge efficiently integrates with all modern database engines through an ODBC interface. It can input data directly into your database, whether it is MS Access, MySQL or any other ODBC-compliant database. Don't waste your time and money elsewhere! There is no need to hire a programmer to prepare scripts and filters for you. Now you can create sophisticated data parsing and filtering solutions in minutes with the help of the ByteEdge visual step-by-step wizards. Advanced users will find a Perl-like scripting language to customize each and every aspect of data collecting and parsing. ByteWedge establishes a two-way communication with all devices whenever possible. This means that in addition to collecting data from a device, you can also control the device by sending commands back through the RS232 interface. This is extremely useful when full automation is needed. New! With the Bytewedge "Pro" version, you can tunnel the collected data from the PC connected to a device to a remote database over TCP/IP networks.
