Introduction to Scientific Component PortController

PortController is a lightweight, easy to use ActiveX object that simplifies asynchronous, multithreaded RS-232 serial communication tasks in your Visual Basic, Visual C++, or Delphi projects. PortController hides the complexity of the Win32 Serial Communications API and allows you to write to and read from your serial port by using straightforward and powerful commands.

PortController:

  • Provides a powerful and intuitive interface to make serial communications easy.
  • Notifies your application when data arrives or events occur on the port, allowing you to monitor port activity and read data without locking up your GUI or implementing messy polling routines.
  • Supports reading and writing of binary data.
  • Supports Visual Basic, Visual C++, Delphi, and more!
  • Works with Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP.
  • Comes with 60 day money back guarantee.
  • Source code available.
  • Can be redistributed royalty-free (as part of your application).
  • Delivers all the capabilities of the Win32 Serial Communications API and eliminates its complexity.
