Virtual COM Port Driver creates pairs of virtual serial ports. Virtual COM port pairs look and work like real hardware ones, fully emulating serial port connections
- Serial port emulation is useful especially when there is a lack of available physical serial ports. Communication between software and/or devices which would otherwise require extra physical connections, can be benefited by using a virtual COM Port emulator.
- Serial port pairs connected by virtual null modem cable. Lean more about Null Modem Emulation software.
- A virtual serial port may have the same name as physical one. This facility allows real serial port overlapping (mapping) and receiving data from a physical port through virtual port. In other words, you can map any serial port or virtual port to any other existing port in your system. In this case applications will work with virtual ports, but, in fact, they will receive data from overlapped real ports.
