FabulaTech Announced Release of Port Splitter

London, UK – June 15, 2009 – FabulaTech, a leading software development company which has built its solid grounds on the software market since 2000 specializing in device driver development, application development and systems internals programming for Microsoft Windows, Linux and Embedded operating systems, announced release of the new version of Port Splitter 4.0.1, a serial splitter software 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.

“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. So, how to access the same COM port from several applications simultaneously?”,said Alan Rourke, FabulaTech Technical Director. “As many our users asked us to solve this problem since there is no standard way of doing this, we have created a powerful application Port Splitter that allows you to get access to a device connected to a COM port from several applications simultaneously”.

Port Splitter creates virtual COM ports that are the exact copies of the specified physical COM port. Now, any program can work with its own virtual COM port not hindering other programs. Data written to physical COM port get to all the virtual COM ports. And vice versa, the data written to virtual COM ports gets to the physical one.

Splitting, sharing and joining are three main functions realized by the com splitter software. Thus if it is necessary to limit access to a COM port for several applications (e.g. some programs are to only read data from the COM port and some programs need full access to the COM port). Port Splitter supports such mechanism.

Main Port Splitter features:
- Allows to split physical COM port to several virtual COM ports
- Allows to share physical COM port among several applications
- Allows to join several physical COM ports to one virtual COM port
- Read/write permissions for COM ports
- Unlimited number of virtual COM ports can be created
- Fully Microsoft serial.sys, PnP and WMI technologies, Hyper-Threading Technology, VMware, 64bit and 32bit compatible.
- Hot virtual COM port creation. No reboot is required.
- Virtual serial ports are controlled directly from your own application using command-line
- Virtual serial ports are controlled directly from your own application using Dynamic Link Library (OEM license)
- Virtual serial ports are controlled directly from your own application using ActiveX control (OEM license)
