The main goal of Virtual Serial Port Driver by Eltima Software is creating virtual COM port pairs. Virtual serial ports created in VSPD behave as if they were real ports and are taken for the real ones with the serial applications. Via these ports serial applications can communicate with each other and transfer data via virtual null-modem cable. The data written to one virtual serial port can be instantly read from the other. Virtual serial ports created in VSPD support all serial port settings, strict baudrate emulation, HandFlow control and signal lines. After virtual COM port pair was created, one can see these ports in Device manager, moreover these ports are available automatically at system startup, even prior to logon. Virtual Serial Port Driver is available in a GUI version as well as a driver version with API for those who are going to use it in their own product.
Even years after I installed the support was just as if I had just purchased.I had an isue with and orphaned port that would not uninstall. Everything I asked was answered professionally and promptly allowing me to eliminate the ports
Cons
None that I could find
Summary
Virtualization tool for my POS
GordonNel
Pros
- creates virtual serial connections, recognized as the real ones
- I work with my POS app without a physical port.
Cons
- doesn't have the full loopback feature, i need to test the equipment.
Summary
I work with POS and there are many sales oriented equipment: scales, terminal, barcode scanner. How do I manage it in the single point PCt? I've started to develop the managing app and needed to virtualize the port I don't have. So this software helped me.
Nothing works as reliably as Virtual Serail Port Driver
