WedgeLink Keyboard Wedges

A keyboard wedge is a piece of hardware or software that translates native RS-232 serial or digital gage outputs into keystrokes that are interpreted by the computer as keyboard characters. This allows legacy device data to be input into any software application including spreadsheets, web based applications, custom application and mobile devices.
