TConnector is a special software tool built by the company TEC-IT. It is an ActiveX Control designed to help older software talk to external devices and collect data.
Important Note: TEC-IT has stopped active software development for TConnector. They no longer offer regular updates, bug fixes, or standard license sales except in rare situations. However, it remains a heavily referenced tool for keeping older systems alive. What TConnector Does
TConnector acts as a bridge. It lets legacy (older) computer programs pull data from hardware tools without needing complex programming. It works inside common applications like Microsoft Excel, Access, Word, and older coding environments like Visual Basic 6 and Delphi. Supported Connections
The tool uses one single set of commands to talk to many types of connections. It can collect data from: Serial Ports: Older RS232 or COM ports. USB Connections: Devices using virtual COM ports. Network Paths: Standard TCP/IP intranet connections. Bluetooth: Wireless hardware links. Key Features
Unified API: You use the exact same code to read data whether it comes from a serial cable or a network wire.
Simple Code: It only takes 3 to 5 function calls to completely set up and run the data tracking.
Keyboard Wedge Mode: It can take incoming data and make the computer think it was typed on a standard keyboard. This helps fill out forms automatically.
Two Read Modes: It supports synchronous mode (reading data on command) and asynchronous mode (waiting silently and triggering an action the exact moment data arrives). Common Use Cases
Companies used TConnector to instantly feed device data into their spreadsheets or database systems. It gathers information from everyday industrial and office tools: Barcode scanners Electronic weighing scales and balances Laboratory sensors and gauges RFID and magnetic stripe readers To explore how to handle your specific data needs:
