Buy / Order Pricing Download Version: 8.0 Date: 7-2023 Serial Plug-in Troi Serial Plug-in gives FileMaker Pro the ability to read from and write to all devices with a serial interface, without the need of a separate application. Control any device with a serial interface Troi Serial Plug-in gives FileMaker Pro easy and powerful access to external devices with a serial (RS232) interface: read from and write to the (virtual) serial ports of the computer directly from FileMaker Pro without the need of a separate application native FileMaker script triggering, to get incoming data into the database or directly insert incoming serial data into your database, in the background (without any script triggering) "Suspend/Resume Serial Port" script step to temporarily suspend the incoming data stream and resume it when you are interested in the data "Wait for Match" function to wait for a specific text before triggering or inserting open an unlimited number of serial ports and trigger different scripts for different ports works with all types of serial ports, including those added through an extension card or USB to serial adaptor Easy troubleshooting! Troi Serial Plug-in has a great debug function, making setup of databases a breeze for our users. You can troubleshoot by testing the arrival of data at the serial port and you can test script triggering too. No quitting Troi Serial Plug-in can be reinitialized without quitting FileMaker Pro. This makes it possible to accommodate new or different serial ports dynamically, for example when you plug in a USB to serial adaptor. And more... Another powerful feature is getting the last match string that was received, for example a return character to get the last line that was received.

The possibilities are only limited by your imagination! What is new in version 8.0? Improved compatibility Tested and made compatible with Claris FileMaker Pro 2023 (FileMaker Pro 20.1.2) Tested and made compatible with Claris FileMaker Pro 19 up to Claris FileMaker Pro 19.6.3. Tested and made compatible with Claris Pro 40.2.1. Tested and made compatible with macOS 13 (Ventura). Tested and made compatible with Windows 11, including Windows 11 version 22H2 (September 20, 2022). New functionality and improvements Added new Serial_GetUSBInfo function. A serial port can be implemented as virtual port on top of a USB port. When this is the case this function returns information about the USB port hardware, like the USB vendor ID, vendor name, USB Product name and USB Serial number. To get a single item as a result you can use these switches: -USBVendorName -USBProductName -USBSerialNumber -USBVendorID -USBProductID Improved the Serial_SetDirectInsert function: the plug-in now also can insert data where the filename parameter contains a period in the name and the (.fmp12) extension was not included (Note that the FileMaker function "Get(Filename)" will not include the extension).For example if the filename parameter given is "Collector1.0" the plug-in now adds the .fmp12 extension, resulting in "Collector1.0.fmp12". Improved script triggering when data is received: the plug-in now also triggers scripts where the filename parameter contains a period in the name and the (.fmp12) extension was not included (the FileMaker function "Get(Filename)" will not include the extension).For example if the filename parameter given is "Terminal1.0" the plug-in now adds the .fmp12 extension, resulting in "Terminal1.0.fmp12". (macOS) Fixed a problem on macOS 12 (Monterey) and FileMaker Pro 19.4, where the plug-in would not show the plug-in icon in the flash dialog. Improved Security Improved the code in several places and made it more secure. (macOS) Modernized the code and removed dependency on legacy Carbon code in several places. Startup Registration Log Improved the EasyInstallTroiPlugins.fmp12 example file (v1.8.6): added a script which adds the Startup Registration Log to the log field. This will get a text log of the startup registration process of the plug-in. Added an example script "Get Startup Registration Log of the plug-in" to Version.fmp12, which gets the text log of the startup registration of the plug-in. Added switch "-GetStartupRegistrationLog" to the Serial_Version function. This will return a text log of the plug-in's registration process at startup time of FileMaker Pro. When you have problems registering the plug-in, you can see if the payment certificate was found and if a valid registration code was found. Other changes and bug fixes IMPORTANT The minimum supported OS versions are macOS 10.14 (Mojave) and Windows 10. (macOS) Fixed a bug in the Serial_AsciiValueToText function when using the switch -Encoding=ASCII_Windows. The plug-in no longer crashes when you use values that are undefined for this encoding. The undefined values for this encoding (see Windows-1252 codepage wiki) are 0x81, 0x8D, 0x8F, 0x90 and 0x9D (decimal: 129, 141, 143, 144 and 157). For compatibility with the plug-in running on Windows these values will now be added with the same values as a Unicode character. Fixed several other bugs, modernized the code in several places and made further improvements.
