An advanced application was launched which allows to share dataflow of one COM port between several applications or vice versa to join dataflow of several COM port devices to one application. Such universality is achieved by means of virtual serial ports technology.
June 3, 2008 (PRESSbooth.ORG) -- FabulaTech, a leader in the market for device driver development, application development and systems internals programming for Microsoft Windows, Linux and Embedded operating systems today announced the release of Serial Port Splitter 3.8 Aimed to ease the hardware management, Serial Port Splitter allows to get access to a device connected to a COM port from several applications simultaneously.
Serial Port Splitter allows to share dataflow of one COM port between several applications or vice versa to join dataflow of several COM port devices to one application. Such program universality is achieved by means of virtual serial ports technologies. Moreover Serial Port Splitter allows to setup Read/Write or Read Only mode for splitted ports and Read/Write or Write Only mode for joined serial ports.

There are 3 main things Serial Port Splitter can do: splitting, sharing, joining:
-Splitting: create virtual COM ports that are the exact copies of specified physical COM ports.
-Sharing: work with the same COM port without splitting it to several different virtual COM ports.
-Joining: create virtual COM port and forwards serial data from it to several physical COM ports.
"As soon as the necessity to work from several applications with a device connected to COM port arises, you face problems. The point is that the operating system allows to access COM port to only one application simultaneously", says Alan Rourke, developer of Serial Port Splitter.
"We managed to overcome this limitation of the operating system having created a powerful application Serial Port Splitter that allows you to get access to a device connected to a COM port from several applications simultaneously".
According to analyst firm ShareResearch, a rapidly growing number of GPS devices users, software developers and IT integrators who initially sought to improve processes are now seeking more powerful products. Availability so far has been limited to rather costly low-featured tools. Serial Port Splitter extends the existing product family connecting two or more applications to one real serial port with only several clicks.
Additional offerings for discount enable use of OEM license, the latter allows to integrate Serial Port Splitter functionality into any own application and permits unlimited redistribution of Serial Port Splitter as an integral part of one's own software without having individual license keys. OEM License grants a royalty free distribution, so it is no use to pay extra fee per every license of one's application.
