What is a USB Serial Converter B Windows Driver?
A USB Serial Converter B driver is software that allows your Windows operating system to communicate with a USB-to-serial converter device. These devices are used to connect traditional RS-232 serial devices (such as older hardware, industrial equipment, or serial communication devices) to a modern computer via a USB port.
The term "USB Serial Converter B" typically refers to a USB-to-serial adapter that supports the USB B type connection. In some cases, you may encounter variations in terminology depending on the manufacturer or the specific chipset used in the adapter (e.g., FTDI, Prolific, Silicon Labs, etc.).
The driver ensures that Windows can correctly identify and communicate with the USB-to-serial converter, enabling the system to send and receive data over the serial connection.
