Shared Serial Ports
Shared Serial Ports is an advanced utility for sharing a real serial port between multiple applications ensuring simultaneous serial data exchange.
Application makes sharing a serial port possible as it creates virtual serial ports for each application that works with these virtual com ports exclusively like with real ones. All virtual serial ports will be able to send data to real serial port.
With Shared Serial Ports you can set port permissions to read, write or change control lines (RTS, DTR, DCD, RI) state for every application separately. Any virtual serial port will have the same name as the real one and any number of applications will be capable of using it at the same time.
To share a serial port all you need to do is simply select the serial port you wish to share from the drop-down list and put a checkmark "Share this port".
