virtual com port - emulate serial port connection

Virtual Serial Port Connection

If you need more serial ports than are physically available in your system, Virtual Serial Port Driver can help you in that by creating virtual serial ports, with all hardware port settings and signal lines fully emulated.

A pair of virtual serial ports may be used for connecting one application to another in order to enable them exchange data. This approach can be used, for example, with GPS simulation software.

com port emulation

VSPD offers you a number of advantages:

Create an unlimited number of virtual COM ports

As the solution is software-based, you don't have to tackle cables and can leave alone hardware COM ports. All the created ports are located in Device Manager's Ports group and are easily recognized by any software and hardware you install. You can define which applications are allowed to access specific virtual COM ports.

Full emulation of COM port settings

Virtual serial ports created by Virtual Serial Port Driver work just like real ones: they emulate all settings of hardware serial ports and support hardware flow control, various baud rates, and so on.

Besides, a serial line break can be easily emulated. The advanced Windows kernel driver technology on which VSPD is based ensures comprehensive support of WDM, WMI, Power Management, PnP, etc. Moreover, Virtual Serial Port Driver is fully compatible with COM API and supports all Windows messages.

Management of all signal lines

Virtual Serial Ports Driver creates virtual serial ports that support all standard hardware signal lines (DTR/DSR, RTS/CTS, RING, ERROR, DCD, etc.). As in a 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, to CTS of the remote port. If necessary, you can select a specific loopback pinout or even create a custom one, depending on your hardware configuration.
