FAQ about Virtual Serial Ports
What is a virtual COM port?
A virtual COM port is a piece of software that emulates a physical serial interface. It fully replicates the functionary of a hardware COM interface and will be recognized by operating systems and serial applications as if it were a real port.
What is a virtual serial port used for?
Virtual COM ports are primarily used to connect serial-based equipment such as that used in hospitals, laboratories, and industrial automation systems to computers not equipped with a serial interface.
