I have a sensor. It works fine and sends data through uart. I also have an application to log all kinds of data in a particular format.
The data format from the sensor is not compliant with the data logger. So I need an "adapter softare" to read the data from the sensor, convert it, and send it to the logger. All communication is through uart. Is there an easy method to create a virtual com-port in windows. The goal is that the application receives the data from the sensor, converts it, and then sends the data to the logger through a virtual com-port.
Or, should I just build a "null-modem cable" using two usb-uart cables?
