What is a USB to Serial Converter Windows Driver?
A USB to Serial Converter driver is software that enables a USB port on your computer to communicate with devices that use serial communication, typically through a RS-232 interface (such as older peripherals, industrial equipment, networking devices, or embedded systems). These converters are commonly used to connect devices with a serial port (DB9 or DB25 connectors) to modern computers, which may only have USB ports.
The USB to Serial Converter driver ensures that the operating system correctly identifies and configures the converter, allowing you to use the serial device seamlessly with your computer. The driver translates the data between the USB and serial protocols, ensuring smooth communication.
