General description
VSPE main purpose
#irtual $erial %orts emulator (#$%E) is intended to help people to deal &ith such a thing as a serial port. 'o&adays( serial ports are not used &idely anymore. The reason
is simple) it is a *uite old stuff. +odern hard&are de"ices as a rule connect to computers "ia high-speed ,$- ports and sometimes install their o&n ,s.ToCom dri"er.
$erial ports are not installed in the most of ne& note.ooks.
$o &hy &as #$%E created/
There are plenty of specific de"ices that re*uire 0$212 or 0$222 compati.le serial ports. #$%E can help de"elopers to create and de.ug applications &ithout real
hard&are installed.
Compati.ility &ith old applications. #$%E can help people to make data stream from any source (like TC% connection( ,$- port and so on) "isi.le to any program
"ia "irtual serial port.
To create a lot of "irtual serial ports &orking simultaneously. 3ou can do it &ithout installing serial ports e4tension .oard.
To share serial port for many applications.
VSPE distincti%e caracteristics
#$%E has limitations descri.ed in the Known limitations and bugs section.
!t current stage our main goals are)
To pro"ide .inary data e4change .et&een applications or de"ices.
To create original solutions. The Connector and the 5ata$plitter de"ices are o."ious e4amples of such solutions) they create C6+ ports that can .e opened more
that once.
To pro"ide easy user interface.

Usage tips and scenarios
Bere &e &ill descri.e the most popular #$%E usage scenarios.
0emem.er that you can com.ine "irtual #$%E de"ices) for e4ample( $plitter de"ice can .e connected to Connector de"ice( and at the same time the Connector de"ice
can .e e4posed to local net&ork using Tcp$er"er de"ice. To achie"e your goal you can create chains and com.ination of #$%E de"ices. Try and impro"ise.

Create de%ice wi0ard
The &iOard &ill help you to create desired de"ice.
5e"ice creation process consists of t&o simple steps) specifying de"ice type and characteristics.
3ou can create any com.inations of de"ices) for e4ample you can create connector and e4pose it to net&ork using Tcp$er"er de"ice.

Connector de%ice
Connector is a "ery simple "irtual de"ice that can .e opened .y t&o clients.
!fter opening( clients can e4change data.
arning! "n some cases connector may not #ork correctly.
$% The same application tries to open connector t#ice
&% 'uery to device is initiated from another driver (e.g. as modem driver%
9n such a case you should use Pair de%ice.
Page & of 28
Step 3
Step 4
Splitter de%ice
5ata splitter is intended to help share serial port data stream among many clients.
3ou must choose source serial port (it &ill act as data pro"ider) and "irtual serial port. Current #$%E "ersion supports up to 8 client connections to the data splitter. 3ou
can check D0ead onlyD check.o4 to pre"ent &riting in the source serial port. To ad>ust source serial port settings( click D$ettings...D .utton (Serial port settings dialog)
$et D0edirect modem registersD check.o4 if you &ant clients to manage 0T$:5T0 modem lines. 3ou can also define initial modem registers state (5T0 and 0T$).

Pair de%ice
%air is a simple de"ice that consists of t&o logically connected "irtual ports.
9t is usually more popular solution than Connector de%ice.
Step 3
Page ' of 28
Step 4
5cpSer%er de%ice
TC%$er"er opens TC% port to deli"er serial port data to net&ork clients.
'um.er of clients is not limited.
This device does not create virtual serial port. "t uses e)isting one
that can be either physical or virtual (for e)ample* Connector%.
Step 3
Page 10 of 28
Step 4
5cpClient de%ice
TcpClient esta.lishes TC%:9% connection to remote computer and transfers data from e4isting serial port to remote %C and "ice "ersa.
9f connection is lost it &ill reconnect automatically. !lso you can specify read data timeout (in seconds) to automatically reconnect Tcp client.
Step 3
Page 11 of 28
Step 4
P!ton scripting s!stem
TcpClient de"ice supports scripting. 9t means that it is customiOa.le. !ll scripts must .e located in $cripts folder (in #$%E installation directory).
Simple script e+ample
+python
import TcpClient
+ connect handler
def TcpClientConnected(ob,%!
TcpClient.SendString(ob,*-==> .ogin-%
+ disconnecting handler (connection is still alive%
def TcpClient/isconnecting(ob,%!
TcpClient.SendString(ob,*-==> .ogout-%
+ disconnect handler (connection is already broken%
def TcpClient/isconnected(ob,%!
pass
Serial &edirector de%ice
$erial 0edirector can .e used to esta.lish connection .et&een t&o serial ports.
Step 3
Page 12 of 28
Step 4
U6P manager de%ice
,5% manager allo&s to send:recei"e data "ia ,5% protocol.
There are 1 entities in ,5% manager) C6+ port( ,5% local port and ,5% clients.
C6+ port is serial port e4posed .y ,5% +anager.
,5% +anager &aits for incoming data from ,5% local port. !ll incoming data is redirected to C6+ port.
,5% clients is a set of clients. E"ery client has its o&n 9% address and port. ,5% +anager reads data from C6+ port and redirects it to ,5% clients( sending ,5%
packets.
$o( ,5% +anager &ork scheme is the follo&ing)
0ead data from the local ,5% port and send it to C6+ port.
0ead data from the C6+ port and send it to each ,5% client using ,5% protocol.
Step 3
Page 13 of 28
Step 4
$pecify local ,5% port (0 if you &ant only to send data from C6+ port) and 0emote clients.
&emote client properties
)ridge de%ice
-ridge is intended to connect t&o data streams.
5ata stream source can .e file( TC% connection( serial port etc. Pust set up each data stream and data &ill .e transfered from stream C to stream 2 and "ice "ersa.
