- 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 captures data directly to Excel, Access or any Windows application or web page. It can even send commands out a COM port so you can control your device through hot keys, buttons, or DDE.
- WinWedge captures serial data, customizes it to your needs, then transfers the data to any Windows ® or DOS application – either by “sending” keystrokes to the application’s window or by passing the data through DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange) conversations.
WinWedge DDE Commands
WinWedge RS232 serial communications software is easy to install and configure. Rick in Boston writes 'Installation and configuration was so simple, I was logging laboratory data from my digital scale in minutes'. When you purchase WinWedge software wedge for 32 bit Windows systems, you also will receive Taltech's WinWedge user manual, which. WinWedge also transmits prompts or commands through the serial port to control or query your Mark-10 or other instruments from within other Windows applications or directly from WinWedge. Think of WinWedge as a fully customizable serial I/O device driver that. Tech support scams are an industry-wide issue where scammers trick you into paying for unnecessary technical support services. You can help protect yourself from scammers by verifying that the contact is a Microsoft Agent or Microsoft Employee and that the phone number is an official Microsoft global customer service number.
Note: DDE commands will only execute if WinWedge has been activated.
There are two ways to issue DDE commands to the Wedge: either by issuing them directly from another application's macro or programming language or you can establish a 'Command Source DDE Link' between another application and the Wedge and then issue commands by entering the command in the DDE Command source location (a cell in a spreadsheet for example).
[Command] Function
1.[APPEXIT] Exits WinWedge.
2.[APPMINIMIZE] Minimizes WinWedge Window.
Winwedge Windows 10 64-bit
3.[APPNORMAL] Opens WinWedge Window.
4.[BEEP] Causes WinWedge to Beep once.
5.[BREAK] Issues a Serial Break signal.
6.[CLEAR] Clears all input data fields in WinWedge Window.
7.[COPYFIELD(n)] Copies the data field 'n' into the Windows clipboard.
8.[COPYDATE] Copies the date/time display field into the clipboard.
9.[COPYRECNUM] Copies the record number display field into the clipboard.
10.[SUSPEND] Suspends WinWedge.
11.[RESUME1] Resumes WinWedge for one data record.
12.[RESUME] Resumes WinWedge.
13.[RESET] Flushes all buffers and resets WinWedge.
14.[RTS=ON] Sets the serial port RTS line on.
15.[RTS=OFF] Sets the serial port RTS line off.
16.[DTR=ON] Sets the serial port DTR line on.
17.[DTR=OFF] Sets the serial port DTR line off.
18.[TOGGLEDTR] Toggles the serial port DTR line for 100 ms.
19.[SEND(text)] Sends the text in parentheses out the serial port.
20.[SENDCODE(n)] Sends the character with ASCII code 'n' out the serial port.
21.[SENDDATE(format)] Sends the date or time out the serial port using a specified Date/Time format string.
22.[SENDFILE(filename)] Sends the contents of the specified file out the serial port.
23.[SENDOUT('text',n..)] Sends text and control codes out the serial port. Text must be supplied as quoted strings using single quotes and control codes must be supplied as ASCII values. Text and control codes may be combined in any combination with individual elements separated by commas. Ex. [SENDOUT('Test',13,10)] sends the word Test followed by a carriage return (ASCII 13) and a line feed (ASCII 10).
24.[PUSH(button caption)] Pushes a button in WinWedge Window. The button is specified using its caption. The specified caption should be the same as that entered when it was originally defined including ampersands.
25.[CONFIG(filename)] Reconfigures the Software Wedge. 'filename' specifies the configuration file to use and must include the filename extension and the full drive and directory path if it is not in the current directory. You may not specify a configuration that uses a different serial port than the one currently in use.
26.[STRIPCRLF-ON] Enables / Disables stripping carriage return - linefeeds
27.[STRIPCRLF-OFF] from data supplied through an Output Buffer DDE Link.
28.[TIMER-ON] Enables / Disables sending of timed automatic output
29.[TIMER-OFF] strings.
30.[TIMERINTERVAL=n] Changes the timing interval (ms) for timed automatic output strings to the value n (between 1 and 9,999,999).
31.[PASTE-COMMAND] Pastes a DDE Command Link using data in the clipboard.
32.[REFRESH-COMMAND] Refreshes the last DDE Command Link defined.
33.[TERMINATE-COMMAND] Terminates any active DDE Command Link .
34.[PASTE-BUFFER] Pastes an Output Buffer Link using data in the clipboard.
35.[REFRESH-BUFFER] Refreshes the last Output Buffer DDE Link defined.
36.[TERMINATE-BUFFER] Terminates any active Output Buffer DDE Link.
Note: All DDE commands must be enclosed in square brackets.
When sending DDE commands to the Wedge from another program, use the DDE Application Name 'WinWedge' and the DDE Topic 'COMn' where 'n' is the number of the serial port that WinWedge is installed for. A DDE Item is not required when sending DDE commands to the Wedge.
Note: WinWedge does not have to be in 'DDE Server Mode' in order to accept and process DDE commands. The Wedge will still execute any DDE commands sent to it even if it is in 'Send Keystrokes Mode' or 'Log To Disk Mode'.

Keywords: Software, Instruments
WinWedge captures serial data, custom tailors it to our needs, then transfersthe data to any Windows 3.x, 95, 98, NT, 2000 or DOS application – eitherby sending keystrokes to the application’s window or by passing the datathrough dynamic data exchange (DDE) conversations. There is even a versionavailable for windows CE devices (Plate 1).
