You can create a virtual serial port to connect to the target device or the UART port.

The connection configuration will not be activated until you click the "Apply" button.

Once the virtual serial port is successfully connected, the actual path name of the serial device will appear next to "Port Name." The virtual serial port's name varies depending on the platform.

For Windows users, a device driver from Cytrence is required to use the virtual serial port. Please reach out to Cytrence at support@cytrence.com to request the device driver.

Once the virtual serial port is connected on the host computer, you can use any serial terminal emulator software to interact with the target device or any device connected to the UART.
