Serial Port ActiveX is a software component designed for developers who need to add serial communication capabilities to Windows applications. It provides an ActiveX / COM interface that allows programs to send and receive data through serial ports without direct interaction with low‑level system APIs. The component supports common serial communication standards and is intended to be embedded into custom applications developed using environments that support ActiveX technology. It is typically used for integrating communication with industrial equipment, embedded devices, and legacy hardware.
