Available only in the PRO edition.

With Virtual Serial Port Driver, you can connect several real ports to one virtual for their further automatic switching. By opening the virtual port, a serial application can get access to any joined real port and device attached to it. Several applications can open a virtual port at a time and connect to available devices. The software will automatically detect a free real port and assign it to the corresponding app.

The number of serial apps connected to a virtual port at a time should not exceed the number of real ports added to the port bundle.

To create port switcher, do the following:

1. Сreate a new port bundle. To do that, click the “Switch” icon on the vertical menu at the left, then click the “Create a port switcher” button:
