I'm working on a project to interface 12 different lab devices to a PC to log the data to a database. All the lab devices have an RS-232 port for communications and I'm considering WinWedge or OMNI Server for communications.
Is there someone familar with both products who could give me the plus and minus of each? We are still trying to determine the communication requirements and protocol for each driver. I'm assuming most lab devices are slave units that send data as a result of a query. Others send data "unsolicited" when an operator presses a button on the equipment.
We are replacing an existing system running a Pascal program. All the drivers are custom and the code is not clear (i.e., not well documented).
