Create custom virtual serial portsVirtual Serial Port ActiveX Control is a powerful component by Eltima Software, that allows your application create custom additional virtual serial ports and fully control them. Created virtual ports look and behave exactly like real serial ones, and not a single Windows application will recognize the difference. |

With Virtual Serial Port ActiveX you can:Gain full control of virtual serial portsIf you embed Virtual Serial Port ActiveX Control into your project, your application will be able to create, delete and fully control virtual serial ports. This feature provides you with full control over the created virtual com ports and port pairs. Virtual COM ports fully emulate the properties and behavior of real hardware ports, including connection line break, baudrate, different signal lines, default or custom pinout, etc. |
|
Set custom signal lines wiringVirtual RS232 ports created with Virtual Serial Port ActiveX Control emulate and support all usual hardware signal lines (DTR/DSR, RTS/CTS, RING, ERROR, DCD, etc.) As in 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 is connected to CTS of the remote port. More than that, you can choose loopback pinout or create custom one depending on your hardware configuration, or leave default null-modem scheme to fit all your technical requirements. |
