The process of software installation is now completely automated.
The documentation was improved and completed
Kernel changes:
All the system functioning is realized in kernel mode. It contributes not only to the system stability but also to the efficient working of the whole system.
The quality of COM-ports signals emulation is considerably improved. Comparative tests AVSD 2.0 with null-modem cable showed that they are practically identical.
Due to intellectual installer adding, the installation process now is absolutely clear both for user and the system. Due to the seamless integration of the component with the Device Manager, the adding of all the necessary drivers to the system is realized automatically without a user s interference.
