Applies to: Docklight Scripting (V2.4 or higher), Article ID: dl_prb066
We have added HID channel options for Docklight Scripting V2.5 which allow you to pick a device path with a specific
Usage Page (e.g. FF00) and Usage ID (e.g. 0001). Many devices are enumerated using several device paths and usage pages. Usage Pages for standard input devices like keyboards are reserved for Windows exclusive access and Docklight cannot connect to these.
This is already possible with the standard Docklight Scripting V2.4 by using the full HID device path string as reported by hidtest.exe (see link below). But device path strings are difficult to read and specific to a device instance, so on a different PC / device of the same type this would not work.
Docklight Scripting V2.5 or higher allows the following extended syntax:
“USBHID:(vid):(pid):(usagePage):(usageID)”
Example setting for a holtek-zytemp CO2 monitor (e.g. the TFA Dostmann AIRCO2NTROL product series)
“USBHID:4D9:A052:FF00:1”
NOTE: Implementation and use details may still change until the release of V2.5.
Any feedback on this feature is highly appreciated, in particular if you are experiencing problems connecting to a specific device. We are happy to provide individual assistance!
