Virtual Serial Port

Virtual Serial Port Driver

Fully emulate real COM ports.

Common objectives and our solutions:

• Your programs need testing/debugging

Virtual Serial Port Driver is the finding for all developers who need to test or debug their software or a driver for serial port device. This solution will help you locate all troubles, faults and bugs of your application or emulator, if there are any.

In order to test any application or emulator create two virtual serial ports COM3 and COM4 with Virtual Serial Port Driver and connect them via virtual null modem cable in a pair. All data sent by the first application to virtual serial port COM3 will be received at virtual serial port COM4, and all data sent to virtual serial port COM4 will be received at virtual serial port COM3.

• You need to manage different signal lines

Virtual serial ports created with Virtual Serial Port Driver fully emulate and support all usual hardware signal lines (DTR/DSR, RTS/CTS, RING, ERROR, DCD, etc.)

As in real null-modem connection, DTR of the local port is connected to DSR and DCD of the remote port, and RTS of the local port is connected to CTS of the remote port. Actually, you can leave default pinout schemes or set custom pinout ones to fit your personal needs and refine your applications.

• You need more serial ports in your system

With Virtual Serial Port Driver you will be able to create as many virtual serial ports in your system as your needs require.

The connection between pairs of virtual ports is highly dependable so you can be sure there will not be any data loss or connection will not bread all of a sudden. You can give any name to the port you create or can leave the same name real serial port has. In this case virtual serial port overlapping happens - when an application reaches to the real COM port through the serial one or vice versa.

Virtual Serial Port Driver is:

• Completely virtual solution - no null-modem cables or other hardware is needed
• An ideal tool to test and/or debug your applications, hardware emulators, etc.
• The driver to create virtual serial ports, also available for Windows CE and Windows Mobile
• A high-end solution ensuring fast and reliable data transmission speed
