Collect More Data With PocketDAQ
Posted by Jon Westfall in "SOFTWARE" @ 06:01 AM
"PocketDAQ is a robust, standalone, Win32 application, that enables you to examine serial data in real-time from any RS232 or infrared device. With it, you can very easily Send and Receive ASCII and BINARY values to/from the connected device, plus much more."
Here's a neat little app for anyone whose ever wanted to use a serial interface device with their PPC, but didn't want to buy specialty software to use it. PocketDAQ runs in the background, takes the input, and forwards it to whatever window you want (i.e. pocket word, pocket excel). Looks neat, now I just need some serial input devices to try it out with - anyone got a spare barcode scanner they want to send me? :)
