Important Note! MicroRidge also offers the WedgeLink SP and WedgeLink AT “hardware wedge” products for serial output devices. Hardware wedges do not require software to function, making them a preferred solution for many situations.

When to choose WedgeLink Lite

• If the data format coming from your serial device is exactly what you want to send to your target application. WedgeLink Lite does allow you to add a date/time stamp as a data prefix.
• You are looking for an economical solution for transferring properly formatted serial port data directly into Windows applications.
• Many barcode scanners and other devices can be used very effectively with WedgeLink Lite.

When to choose WedgeLink Standard

• If the data format coming from your serial device needs to be modified before sending the data to your target application (i.e., you need data parsing).
• You need to parse your input data packets and you need to add a date/time stamp to your data.
• Many serial devices output extra information such as units (pounds, inches, etc.) and you need to remove the units fields before sending the data to your target application.
