Virtual Serial Port Control

Virtual Serial Port Control is an application that was created for providing a software developer kit that enables users to set-up virtual serial ports, edit and manage them. Its main functionality also allows for the creation of serial device emulators or even tampering with existing legacy serial communication applications.

The app provides the means to allow serial communication applications to operate with virtual serial ports as if these were real hardware ports, as such ports will appear in users’ operating systems as regular ports.

Just as reading from physical ports, the connected apps will be able to respond with data which will be transited through the virtual ports, with no additional requirements.

Virtual Serial Port Control is available on three primary forms: Dynamic Link Library, ActiveX or .NET Component. Additional integration with third-party installers is also supported, together with samples for source code.

The application will automatically notify other software about any actions performed to the serial ports, such as opening, closing, setting DTR or RTS, handshake, baudrate settings and many more.

Complete control over the virtual ports is provided through the API, and by working together with the virtual ports themselves, the app manages to achieve similar command to the one experienced when dealing with physical devices linked to actual serial ports.
