SEDACOM SErial DAta COMmunication Software

Presentation

The new SEDACOM 2.0 version is a very easy, convenient and cost-saving data transfer software providing an ideal environment for visualizing the registered data on a computer and exporting them in a format that simplifies any further post-analysis processes. SEDACOM increases the functionalities of the devices, saving and listing automatically all the data of the current or stored sessions.

Operating principle

The name of SEDACOM comes from SErial DAta COMmunication due to the direct communication of the BIOSEB devices to the computer through an RS232 serial port communication. Nowadays, some optional accessories are offered for allowing the use of the USB technology making possible running experiment on a laptop, if requested.

SEDACOM can acquire data from up to 9 devices at the same time, limited exclusively by the number of series ports available on the computer. An additional hub or board with serial ports (not included) can be installed to expand the number of connections. SEDACOM will automatically recognize the number of systems connected.
