I have a similar problem as three83 had in a previous post. I have the splitter software installed and I am experiencing trouble with keeping the GPS connection "live". Here are my specifics:
Just purchased the program, so I am using the current version from the website. I have a GPS unit coming in to the laptop via a serial connection. I have two programs that use the GPS data coming in. I tried both sharing and splitting/virtual the com 2 port with the GPS data coming in. At first, it works perfect, but after a time (maybe 30 minutes), both software pieces stop receiving data. If I restart the computer, it works perfect again for a short time, then the data stops going through. Before the splitter program, we only had one piece of software using it and it worked for 8 hours straight, so I believe it is a problem with the splitter utility or its setup...help!
Please advise any suggestions. Thank you.

Please use the following portmon setting: Edit -> Max Output Bytes -> 1024 Options -> Show Time [x] Options -> Show Hex [x] Options -> Clock Time [ ]
1) Please split COM1 to COM3, COM4. 2) Launch portmon 3) Configure portmon to capture data from physical COM port: Capture -> Ports -> COM1, COM3, COM4 4) Launch communications programs (on COM3 and COM4) and work with your device until the issue appears. Then close communications programs. 5) Save captured data to file: File -> Save As -> serial.log
