Com0Com is used to create virtual com ports (null modem cables) to allow CAT and keyer control<br />
to other programs from PowerSDR 1.x.<br />
The Null-modem emulator (<strong>com0com</strong>) is a kernel-mode virtual serial port driver for Windows. You<br />
can create an unlimited number of virtual comport pairs and use any pair to connect one comport<br />
based application to another. It allows you to create the virtual serial port pairs to interconnect<br />
comport based applications. See the diagram below.<br />
You can use it to have PowerSDR communicate with another application, like Ham Radio Deluxe,<br />
without adding physical hardware Com ports and making jumper cables to go between the Com<br />
ports.<br />
You will see two types of platform specific files listed. Download the one that is correct for the<br />
operating system running on your PC to a folder on your PC:<br />
- 32-bit Windows operating systems are denoted by the “i386” designation in the file name,<br />
example: <strong>com0com</strong>-2.1.0.0-i386-chk.zip<br />
- 64-bit Windows operating systems are denoted by the “x64” designation in the file name,<br />
example: <strong>com0com</strong>-2.1.0.0-x64-chk.zip<br />
NOTE: Although the "x64" version indicates the architecture is AMD64, it can be used with<br />
Intel processors that has 64-bit capability<br />
You can download the Com0Com installation programs from the SourceForge project downloads<br />
