Field Feeder
The Field Feeder application can be used to acquire data from a text file and continuously
check for any new data or modifications to the source file. The main window is divided into 3
sections. The top section provides a list of connections with information on each including the
port being used for communication, the Address/Field name being addressed, the current
status, and the Message currently being sent. The middle section of the screen can be used
for manually entering text or modifying lines of text in the Message field within the connection
list. The bottom window provides Status messages for Events as the source file is reloaded.
