Users are able to create virtual ports without worrying about shortage of serial ports and physical hardware crowding. The software’s next advantage is its capability to be integrated with technologies like ActiveX, DDL and Core level utility.
Create virtual serial port pairs with VSPD
Virtual Serial Port Driver is a virtual serial port kit that creates pairs of virtual COM ports at the PC. Using these ports various serial applications can connect with each other and transfer data via virtual null-modem cable. The data written to one virtual COM port can be instantly read from the other.The pairs of virtual serial ports created in VSPD by Eltima behave as they were real ones.
