hi - I just downloaded the free version of "COM Port Data Emulator & Traffic generator"
but I cannot get it to work.

I just want to send some strings to an emulated COM port - in my case I use COM port 8 - because this does not show up in the Windows Device Manager - so I should not have any conflict with ports that are already in use.

When I then press the "Start" button, I get an errormessage:
"Unable to open port: ie_BadId - Specified comport doesn't exist"
of course this port does not exists, I want the programm to emulate it.

Any ideas what is wrong here?
