Simulate data transferring with USB or RS-232 for a specific software
« on: August 30, 2011, 06:46:36 am »
Hi jan.
I have software which works with a device via RS-232 or USB. I want to know if there is anyway to send data to software
without the device ?( i mean to simulate cable transferring or something like that).

Thanks Jan.
How about USB ports Jan? Is there any virtual USB port?

It depends on what USB device you want to emulate.

A device that can connect via RS-232 or USB probably has a USB/serial adapter on board. If so, the application accesses the device as a COM port, the same as if it were a true serial port. So you could emulate it with a virtual serial port.
