This is great because USB comports change COM number depending which USB hub you plug them into. Instead you can use the registry name. For example an I2C2PC adaptor can have the port set to "\VCP0", and my modem is "\AgereModem5"

  •    Virtual Comports (USB): Comport can be given using Key instead of the com number.
      The key names are in the registry list of comm devices at HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\SERIALCOMM
              eg an I2C2PC adaptor will be \VCP0, regardless of which port it is attached to
  •   Display the port registry entries on the scanports dialog...
  •   HEXCSV2DEC commandline utility added to Realterm installer
  •   Add Channel to MAX127 I2C ADC control, fix range&sign bit
  •   Add DataTriggerSet routine to setup trigger conditions from COM/ActX interface
