Free software that creates virtual COM ports for applications requiring serial port communication, simulating multiple ports on a single PC.
Free Virtual Serial Ports is a free utility that creates virtual serial ports on a Windows computer. It allows connecting applications that require COM ports to communicate with each other without requiring additional hardware serial ports.
The software creates virtual COM port pairs that act as simple pipe streams. Data written to one virtual serial port is transmitted to its pair port where it can be read. This simulates a serial connection between applications over normal TCP/IP networks.
Key features include:
Free Virtual Serial Ports is useful for connecting serial apps that are not physically near each other, bypassing serial port hardware compatibility issues, for debugging/testing serial software, and simulating complex serial networks and topologies using only software.
