USB and Com Port

Hi guys,

I have a device connected to the PC using USB, is it possible for the PC to assign this to a Com Port (I don't exactly know the term to be used, I hope the idea gets there).

Thank you very much.

If you're not sure how to use the word for the idea, try explaining the idea in more detail.

Are you talking about Windows auto-detecting the presence of the USB device, and then doing something with it?

What are you trying to do? If you have a device with a USB connection, then there is no simple way to connect it to a COM port without some kind of hardware converter (I kinda doubt this is wht you are trying to do but ... ?).

Not normally charmed. That's a function of the driver for the USB device. Some "USB" devices are nothing more than old Serial Port devices with a built-in adapter. Usually, when they write a driver for these devices, the driver installs a virtual COM port in Windows to point to the USB device.

There's no way to arbitrarily just assign a Windows COM port to any-old USB device though.
