Liverpool - United Kingdom - FabulaTech, a leader in the market for device driver development, application development and systems internals programming for Microsoft Windows, Linux and Embedded operating systems announced today the release of Virtual Serial Port Kit 5.0.8
Virtual Serial Port Kit is a software which creates virtual serial ports and connects them via virtual null-modem cables. Its main functionalitites are:
- Serial applications' connection via virtual COM ports. All the data written to one virtual serial port can be immediately read from the other one, and vice versa.
- True virtual serial port driver. Virtual COM ports look and work exactly as real hardware serial ports.
- Runs as system service. Just configured, virtual serial ports are available at each system startup automatically, even prior to user logon.
There are two applications which are exchanging data via serial ports. These programs should be connected and a null-modem cable is used for it , comments Alan Rurke, one of the program's developers. There are several problems you can come across: there are no two serial ports on your PC; all serial ports are already occupied; it is necessary to connect several pairs of programs simultaneously and one null-modem cable is not enough. Using Virtual Serial Port Kit you can emulate unlimited number of serial ports and connect each pair of them via a virtual null-modem cable. So, your applications can exchange data just like they do via hardware serial ports and real null-modem cables .
Using Virtual Serial Port Kit one can create pair of virtual serial ports (e.g. COM7 and COM8) and connect two applications to them. All data that the first application writes to COM7 is read from COM8 by the second application, and vice versa.
Virtual Serial Port Kit functionality can be easily integrated into any application. So it is possible to create and configure virtual serial ports from the application directly.
Target groups of the program are various. The program is especially useful for serial software developers.
It allows to speed up development process during debugging and data-logging period. One can debug any program (which uses serial port) by connecting it to another program (e.g. serial device emulator). It is also possible to connect ActiveSync directly to Pocket PC emulator using Virtual Serial Port Kit.
