Under development:

We're currently working on a separate software called "Simple Data Logger", which writes the data received from the serial device to a file instead of turning it into simulated keystrokes. Once development is finished, we'll unify the code base and add the following features to 232key:

• TCP/IP support in addition to RS-232.*
• Timeout instead of terminator.*
• Support for Ethernet connections.

* This feature will require a Plus license.

Other ideas (currently unscheduled):

Some of these might turn out to be impossible or too difficult to implement (or simply unnecessary). Many will require a paid license. You can express your support for certain features by contacting us.

• Support for continuous streams of data (232key would automatically find stable values and type them).
• Hotkey to trigger device to send data.
• Support for multiple measurement values in same line (in a separate, scriptable "Pro" version of 232key).
• Custom keys in addition to choice of predefined keys.
• Ability to add multiple user-defined keystrokes ahead or after entering the measurement value.
• Ability to add time and date (note: use Simple Data Logger for data logging applications) or to recognize time and date sent by device.
• Non-ASCII data formats (as used by inexpensive scales with USB connectivity, possibly also Modbus, POS protocols).
