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.Â
One of the key features in each of the MicroRidge Product Families is Direct Application Input. Keyboard wedge output allows an operator to send gage data to any software such as Microsoft Excel.
MicroRidge offers native keyboard wedge output on the MobileCollect Wedge Base EVO, MicroBase USB A EVO, MicroBase USB C EVO, GageWay KW, GageWay Pro Series, WedgeLink SP, and WedgeLink AT.
