Some RS232 cards and dongles used for testing ComCap under Windows XP no longer work under Windows 7 64-bit and later, but new signed drivers are now available from Microsoft Update or manufacturers sites for other newer hardware. For manufacturers, getting signed drivers from Microsoft is expensive and they are usually only available for products still being manufactured and supported. With the 64-bit editions of Windows 7, 8, 10, 2008 R2, 2012, 2016, 2019 and later, Windows will no longer accept unsigned drivers for serial port expansion products such as USB, PCI or PCI Express cards. Beware if a USB device is plugged into a different socket, it will often be installed as a new COM port. Enabled=N means the port is removed, usually an unplugged USB device, but could be a removed PCI card. The VID_x strings may be used to Google search for unknown hardware device identification if looking for new drivers. Where COM1 is a motherboard port, COM3 is a removed USB Prolific port, COM4 is a null modem, COM11 is a USB modem, COM12 (and COM13 to COM19) are an 8-way MRI PCI card, COM24 is a Bluetooth serial port, COM26 is a USB FTDI port.
When ComCap starts, the Info Log reports all installed serial ports, with various items of information that may be found in different places in Windows, for example:ĬOM1, Enabled=Y, Communications Port, (Standard port types), Serial0ĬOM3, Enabled=N, Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port, Prolific,, USB\VID_067B&PID_2303&REV_0400, Port_#0001.Hub_#0003ĬOM4, Enabled=N, CyberSerial 950 16C950, SIIG,, OXPCIMF\*PNP0509ĬOM11, Enabled=Y, D-Link DU-562M External Modem, CXT, Winachsf0, USB\VID_0572&PID_1300&REV_0100, Port_#0007.Hub_#0004ĬOM12, Enabled=Y, Enhanced Communication Port, Oxford Semiconductor, OXMF0, OXMF\*PNP0501, oxmf bus, port 0ĬOM24, Enabled=N, Standard Serial over Bluetooth link, Microsoft,, BTHENUM\_VID&0001000f_PID&1200,ĬOM26, Enabled=Y, USB Serial Port, FTDI, VCP0, FTDIBUS\COMPORT&VID_0403&PID_6001,ĬNCA0, Enabled=Y, com0com - serial port emulator, Vyacheslav Frolov, com0com10, com0com\port, CNCA0 If the requirement is to capture serial data from another application on the same PC, ComCap includes a Null Modem Emulator (com0com) from that installs a linked pair of virtual serial ports, CNCA0 and CNCB0e, instead of needing to use a physical pair of COM ports and a null modem cable.

Virtual serial ports may also be installed by some applications to allow those applications to be accessed by software such as ComCap. If the port is unknown, the Test Serial Ports and Hardware utility supplied with ComCap may be used to find which port has active signal lines. Likewise capture will be paused if a serial port disappears, and restart if it re-appears. This means capture can be set-up and started for ports that are currently removed, and will start immediately the USB device is plugged into and becomes available to Windows. The Serial Port Channels grid in Common Settings shows all ports installed on the PC including those currently removed and unusable, which are typically USB serial ports that are unplugged. Some virtual ports may have strange names like CNCA2, but these will work identically to those starting with COM.

Note that RS232 serial ports not recognised by the PC BIOS need special windows driver software installed, which is usually supplied with the hardware. Up to 999 installed serial COM ports will be displayed, not necessarily contiguously, but only three may be captured with ComCap Standard. Some of these serial ports can come and go as they are plugged and unplugged.
Fixed serial ports with DB9 or DB25 connectors are now rare, although PCI or PCI Express expansion cards are available used, and removable USB, virtual and Bluetooth serial ports are common.
When ComCap was originally designed all PCs had one or two fixed serial RS232 ports with a DB9 connector.
