Serial Ports Explorer
Serial Ports Explorer is located at the left side of the Main Window and helps visualizing all serial ports: actual (physical) serial ports present in your system as well as virtual serial ports created by VSPD and other Eltima products.
Each virtual serial ports pair is represented by the corresponding entry in this window, which can be expanded to get detailed information about data sent/received, port status and some other port options. Please, get acquainted with the sub entries that serial ports have in VSPD Serial Ports Explorer:
- Physical ports - shows all physical (real) serial ports in a system
- Virtual ports - shows virtual serial ports created by VSPD. Besides you can expand/collapse this group in order to see detailed information.
