Using COM Port Trigger
What is Serial (COM) Port Trigger?
The middleware integration server captures data received from a serial (COM) port and
triggers an action. The application can receive different formats of incoming data. For
example, a bar code scanner attached to the serial port scans the bar code for data. The
application accepts the input data and initiates label printing. The print engine opens the
label and pulls a specific record from a database that complies with the scanned input
data. A similar scenario is also valid for other types of serial port devices such as weight
scales.
The application can also communicate with a serial device through Visual Basic script
functions. The received data can be parsed using a filter or further manipulated by using
Visual Basic action.
