File requests
Latest version: 5.0.1 build 313. March 20, 2025.
This module allows you to send data via the interface being used after the data has been read from the specified file. Unlike other data query modules (ASCII Data Query in particular), this module can send queries of a large size and queries containing any characters. Besides, you can control the queries being sent remotely without changing the configuration of the program. The module can monitor if there are any files in the specified folder and send their contents.
You can use the built-in scheduler based on the Cron format to schedule sending data from the file accurately within one minute. The Cron format is a simple yet powerful way to describe time and operation periodicity. The traditional (inherited from the Unix world) Cron format consists of five fields separated with spaces
