CCS: GUI Composer v2, comport handshaking.

I discovered very strange situation: when my PC has only genuine COMPORTs ( not virtual USB-COMPORT), application finds them but does not allow to connect. When I plug in usb-com converter on FTDI chip, application allows button OK in choosing any comports ( genuine and virtual). When I unplug com-usb device - button OK becomes again forbidden. What the problem with genuine com-ports without virtual ones?

    Hi Michael,
    For GCv2, if I understand correctly, will not allow you to select an option to connect to an actual physical RS-232 port on your PC (like a physical 9-pin serial port) UNLESS you plug-in an USB to RS-232 serial adapter. When you do plug it in, you have the option to chose that physical port (and it works)?

    Thanks

    Yes, if I connect USB-to-RS232 adapter to PC it allows connection through  physical 9 pin port, If there is not adapter app sees it but does not allow to connect. That confused  me much with my first experience with GCv2. Make notions in docs if possible.
    Thank you for reply.
