SerialLink™ 2

The Serial Port Integration Solution for Windows CE

SerialLink™ is a Windows CE serial input device. Acting as a stand-alone system tray application. SerialLink stores in the kernel keyboard buffer characters passing through the serial port of a Windows CE device, then automatically directs those characters to the active application window. The driver's tiny footprint and zero-memory off mode preserve vital memory resources. The driver's system-level interface ensures operability with any enabled application running on any Windows CE device.

SerialLink provides a simple, cost-effective solution for all types of portable data applications. Serial-enabled input devices such as barcode scanners and magnetic stripe card readers work with SerialLink to provide Windows CE-based solutions for managing inventory, tracking work-in-process, auditing prices, tracking patients, and conducting market research surveys. The driver also allows Windows CE devices to collect data from remote systems via the serial port.
