COMM-DRV/NT is the state of the art serial communications Kernel Device Driver for Windows XP, Windows 2000, and WindowsÔ NT. It provides crisp, fast, and reliable performance from the aging 8250, and 16450 UARTs as well as lightning fast performance from the 16550/16650/16750 family of UARTs.  

If your application requires ultra fast serial communications, fast response on the RTS signal for multidrop applications, and/or nine-bit protocol support, then COMM-DRV/NT is the tool of choice for these applications.

 

Who is a candidate for COMM-DRV/NT? 

COMM-DRV/NT is perfect for applications where any of the 
following applies:
Need for high speed and/or reliable serial communication on one or
 more ports concurrently.
Need for multidrop protocol support.
Need for nine-bit protocol support.
Support for built in serial ports on motherboard(COM1, COM2, etc.).
Support for non-intelligent PCI & ISA multiport cards w/16x50 UARTs.
Need for support for the larger FIFOs of the 16650 family
 of UARTs.
Need for crisp support of hardware flow control built directly
 into UART.
Need for time stamping bytes with microsecond resolution.
Need callbacks on events including state of modem signals,
 line errors, break detection, and other events.
Need to have your 16 bit MSDOS application run under Windows XP, 
 Windows 2000, or Windows NT..

COMM-DRV/NT uses the Win32 standard DLL calling conventions. As such, it may be integrated with any Windows tool, application, or language that can call DLLs. COMM-DRV/NT may be used with Visual C/C++, Borland C/C++, Watcom C/C++, Visual Basic, Access, Excel, Paradox, and a myriad of other tools and applications.

COMM-DRV/NT supports the multidrop protocol directly from within its interrupt handlers. In this mode it drops the RTS immediately after the last byte leaves the UART. It is the fastest response currently available under Windows NT or Windows 2000.

COMM-DRV/NT does not use any of the Windows XP, Windows 2000 or Windows NT serial communication services or device drivers. It talks directly to the serial port. As such, there is no unnecessary layering of services that are time consuming. 

COMM-DRV/NT supports the nine-bit protocol. It transmits the first byte with the ninth bit set. It transmit all remaining bytes in the packet with the ninth bit cleared. It can read and write bytes using the nine-bit protocol  with the standard 16x50 family of UARTs.

COMM-DRV/NT supports the time stamping of each byte that enters the UART. It provides microsecond resolution. It buffers the time stamp with the data.

COMM-DRV/NT was designed with interoperability in mind. Its API is completely downwardly compatible to our was designed with interoperability in mind. Its API is completely downwardly compatible to our COMM-DRV/VxD product. In fact, the new DLL provided with COMM-DRV/NT will work under Windows NT & Windows 2000 as well as under Windows 95 and Windows 98. Under Windows 2000 or Windows NT the kernel driver shipped with COMM-DRV/NT is installed. Under Windows 95 or Windows 98, the VxD that ships with COMM-DRV/VxD would be installed. The software engineer/programmer need not worry about Windows platform since the interface is abstracted by the above mentioned DLL.

COMM-DRV/NT is extremely easy to use. The API is simple, concise, and intuitive. Ample examples are provided. Additionally COMM-DRV/NT may be integrated with all other WCSC communication products to increase their performance.

Technical Specifications:
bullet

Provides support for RS485/RS422 devices. It can automatically drop the RTS signal when all data has been transmitted for optimum control of the RS485 buses or other devices requiring said protocol.

bullet

Provides built in support for the nine bit protocol. With one call the first byte is sent with the ninth bit set  while the other bytes are sent with the ninth bit cleared.

bullet

Supports any number of serial ports active concurrently with receive and transmit buffers of any size.

bullet

Supports baud rates in excess of 400K.

bullet

Provides automatic hardware flow control(RTS/CTS, DTR/DSR), as well as software flow control(XON/XOFF).

bullet

Provides seamless integration with COMM-DRV/Lib and COMM-DRV/Dos.

bullet

bullet

Peek ahead virtually any number of bytes.

bullet

Interrupts, buffering, and flow control handled in 32 bit mode of the CPU in Ring 0.

bullet
