About

Troi Serial Plug-in (release date July 8th, 2002) gives FileMaker Pro 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. - Active X support (on Windows) and Apple Event support (on Mac OS) for script triggering with Dispatch Scripting(tm), 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 character string before triggering. - The possibility to open an unlimited number of serial ports and to trigger different scripts for different ports. - Support for high speed connections up to 230 Kbps. - Buffering of data up to 64k per port. - Clear example databases and a user manual to get started quickly. New features Troi Serial plug-in 2.5 adds these new functions and features: -Added troubleshooting functions for setting up a serial port. The new debug function can beep when data arrives and test the triggering of the dispatch script. - Added an alternative and more universal way to trigger scripts on Windows, where Active X is not available. You can now get the last match string (for example the last line) that was received. - The plug-in can now be reinitialized without quitting FileMaker Pro. This makes it possible to accommodate new or different serial ports dynamically, for example when you plug in a USB serial adapter - Added possibility to change the separator between parameters. This is useful for Japanese systems, where port names contain the pipe characters. - Fixed two bugs: one occurring when multiple match strings were received and the other (on Mac OS) where flow control would not be set properly. - Added an example for reading serial barcodes. - Updated the user guide and examples. Troi Serial Plug-in is shareware and costs US$ 69.
