Searching a Software: One COM Port to n virtual Com Ports

(1/2) > >>

pebe:

I am searching for a com port multiplier  ;D
Means:
a Programm which listen to the com Port where the NMEA Data is comming to the PC
and then offers for example 2 virtual com ports and output the NMEA.
So i can use two software Programms, each connect to one virtual com port.
So both Programms can be used at the same time Live.

Anyone knows such a Programm ?

RGecy:
There are certainly virtual COM port drivers, here is a Google Search for Virtual COM port.

Here is one I found: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm

Good Luck,

This software named as GPSGate.   

"Using Franson GpsGate it is possible to share one GPS between many   
      applications running on a laptop or handheld computer. Today’s     
    solutions only allow one application to take exclusive access of a   
     connected GPS. As more applications are becoming position aware,   
                   GPS sharing will become a necessity.                   "

Thank you all.

Cant believe that there are so many Solutions available.
I mentioned that this was a unpopular thing... but i am wrong   ;D
Now i will look at the search results from google, if there are Opensource or even free Programms available.

I also got an idea:

Because ther is no handshake needed, i will just contact two serial ports together, GRND and Transmit from the Unit to
each GND and RCV of the two serial ports.
This should work i think, because i dont have to deal with handshake signals (RTS/CTS and so on.)

If the solution is not working I'll build a small box for you.
