Troi Automatisering releases Serial Plug-in 3.1.1 for FileMaker Pro 10
Updated universal plug-in for FileMaker Pro 10 offers powerful
access to the computer's serial ports and adds server-side
functionality.
March 10th, 2009, Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands--Troi
Automatisering today released Troi Serial Plug-in 3.1.1 for
FileMaker Pro 10.
What is Troi Serial Plug-in?
Troi Serial Plug-in gives FileMaker Pro 10 easy and powerful access
to one or more of the computer's serial ports:
- Read from and write to the serial ports of the computer directly
from FileMaker Pro without the need of a separate application.
- Native FileMaker script triggering, to get incoming data into the
database.
- "Serial_Control" function to temporarily suspend the incoming data
stream and resume it when you are interested in the data.
- "Wait for Match" function to wait for a specific text before
triggering.
- The possibility to open an unlimited number of serial ports and to
trigger different scripts for different ports.
Suggested Uses
Troi Serial Plug-in can be used whenever you need to send or receive
(ASCII) data over a serial port. Suggested uses for Troi Serial Plug-
in 3.1.1 are connecting to a Point-of-Sale system, custom
switchboard dialing, caller ID, barcode reading, controlling
external devices, data acquisition and data transfer. This plug-in
is also very well suited for the use in electronic devices that send
data to the computer continuously, like most electronic weighing
scales.
All these features also work in a runtime solution.
What is new in version 3.1.1?
This is a maintenance release, and fixes a few bugs:
- (Windows) fixed a bug in the Serial_Send function, where an error
code of $$14007 could be returned.
- Fixed a button with a missing script step and missing Perform
Script steps in the SimpleSerial.fp7 example.
We invite you to test drive this powerful plug-in and see what you
can do with it!
