detecting a device

[Michael Mantkowski]

Hi Brian,

Its probably going to depend on your device.  Omnis can handle serial
communications and TCP/IP.  You can also get lists of attached printers.
There could be OS Scripting / API calls you can use through Omnis to find
things as well.

We do a lot of interfacing with devices.  Credit Card Machines, Laboratory
Equipment, Signature capture, X-Ray, Telephone, etc.  

I have normally found there is usually a way to get done what you need.  Not
always strait forward but if your persistent you should be able find a
solution.

Subject: detecting a device

Is there a way to detect a device using Omnis Studio?   For example, i want
to check if a certain device is attached to the computer before initiating a
program.

Also, how do i access the archives to the list?

Thanks
Brian
