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

Troi Serial Plug-in 6.0 is tested and made compatible with FileMaker Pro 18 and FileMaker Pro 17.0.7. It improves the Open Serial Port script step and the Serial_Open function. You can now specify a match string as an optional parameter. In that case the plug-in will wait to trigger a script until the incoming data contains the match string. In this version we also added an extra Switches parameter to the Receive Serial Data script step, allowing to specify advanced switches. Furthermore we improved and modernized several example files, updated the code base and fixed a few potential issues.
