Nope, not possible. USB is not like a com port (even thought you can emulate a com port with USB). USB requires a specific driver tailored to the target device (USB communication is not similar to rs-232 serial communication, the main difference being that an end device can not send data to the computer without a direct request from the computer).

Hey all,<br><br>I'm looking at rs232 controllable PTX systems, and they seem to be more<br>and more usb and less and less rs232.<br><br>So is there anything like [comport] that allows one to send bytes to usb<br>devices? I think a general mechanism, like [comport] that would work for
