Wedge App

Figure 7.4
The wedge app is a keyboard emulation program that reads character strings from the serial
port and simulates the corresponding keystrokes on the RM. In other words, the Wedge scans
serial interfaces (e.g. barcode readers) and converts them into keyboard inputs. These are then
sent to your host PC. The app is specially designed to connect Pepperl+Fuchs barcode scan-
ners (IDM handheld 1-D and 2-D code readers). It allows a barcode scanner connected to the
serial port to be used as a keyboard input device in various applications. For information on
configuring the wedge settings, see chapter 8.14.
The wedge app also helps users check whether a barcode scanner is properly connected to
the serial port and ready for use. The wedge app is available for both user roles (Operator and
Administrator).
