A Serial Communication Component by Sax.net

FEATURES

Unlimited Serial Ports

Sax CommStudio .NET supports a large variety of serial port connections:
- Standard built-in serial ports
- Virtual serial ports on other systems via network software.
- Bluetooth and infrared serial ports.
- High performance serial ports using specialized hardware such as Digi boards.

The number of serial ports supported on a single system is only limited by hardware. Some of our customers use our components with over one hundred ports on each communications server.

Plug & Play Modems

In addition to modem device independence, your users will also enjoy automatic handling of dialing rules based on the user's location and area code.

Reduce technical support and increase end user satisfaction by using the settings defined in the the Windows Control Panel.

Fast & Reliable File Transfers

Ten years of intense interactions with thousands of different systems have resulted in a core of very robust, highly inter operable transfer code.

Classic XModem and YModem protocols will let you interface with a large variety of systems, from the smallest devices to the largest mainframe systems.

For ultimate performance and flexibility you can use Sax CommStudio .NET's industry-standard ZModem implementation.

You'll enjoy advanced error recovery, automatic streaming, and block size adjustment to get the fastest transfer under even the most difficult bandwidth circumstances.

Data Mining

Many legacy applications were designed for use by human operators using a text based interface.

With Sax CommStudio .NET it's easy to automate these transactions and create a modern user interface with the speed and ease of use that your users have come to expect.

Sax CommStudio .NET includes the powerful text scanning and triggering features you need to write automated login scripts and build data mining applications.
