Frequently Asked Questions

The supplied driver installs a Com Port in Windows for each serial interface on the USB-COM product.

Since this port is a Com Port, of couse you can perform any operation as on a Standard Com Port. And especially you can perform any library functions, if the library just uses the VCOMM API of Windows. For example the HyperTerminal supplied with Windows up to XP just uses the VCOMM API, so you can use this software on any Com Port.

Functions requiring direct hardware access are not supported on USB-COM, because the installed hardware is very different from Standard hardware for Com1.
