Virtual COM Port (VCP)

Code examples in Python, C/C++, C#, Java, etc. for VCP-enabled Dracal environmental sensors

Ready-made code examples for interfacing with our VCP-enabled USB sensors (Virtual COM, serial) in 10+ programming languages, including key considerations, a visual snippet of the expected output, and direct links to each language's GitHub repository. Coding languages include Python, C, C++, C#, .NET, Java, Bash, Node.js, etc. Using the VCP mode to integrate data into your systems offers several advantages, including operating autonomously without depending on third-party software. Start your integration project immediately with the integration examples provided in this article.

Example of VCP integration in LabVIEW

This page presents a step-by-step example of how to integrate data from Dracal sensors equipped with the VCP option into LabVIEW when configured in their COM communication mode.
