VSPE is intended to help software engineers and developers to create/debug/test applications that use serial ports. It is able to create various virtual devices to transmit/receive data. It is excellent news when I find out that a USB device communicates in VCP rather than USB-HID, because serial connections are easy to understand. If the device is operating in VCP (Virtual Com Port), then it is as easy as using the System.IO.Ports.SerialPort type.
From Eterlogic Software:VSPE is intended to help software engineers and developers to create/debug/test applications that use serial ports. It is able to create various virtual devices to transmit/receive data. Unlike regular serial ports, virtual devices have special capabilities: the same device can be opened more than once. Using VSPE you can share physical serial port data between several programs, create virtual pipes and so on. Version 0.865 includes unspecified updates.

Start by going to the Device Manager. Once there do the following:
Expand the Ports ‘(COM& LPT)’
You should be looking at something like this:
As you can see Windows has set the port to COM10. However many legacy applications expect the port to be between 1-4. Let’s change that:
Right click on the device and click on ‘Properties’.
Click on ‘Port Settings’. Then click on ‘Advanced…’.
Once you’re in ‘Advanced Settings for COM10’ on the bottom you can see the ‘COM Port Number: COM10’. Click on that to change it to the lowest possible number (between 1-4).
Then click ‘OK’ on all open Property Windows.
Now the device should look like this:
