Serial port through USB help

My project in a nutshell: I need to control a Pan Tilt Zoom camera through the USB port. I've got a USB to Serial RS485 device with a software driver. I plan on controlling the device with 2 wire Pelco D protocol. I'm a Newbie so pardon the dumb questions.


I've been doing a lot of reading of the Apple Doc's but seem to be going around in a circle. I'm a bit unclear on where to start: Do I need to look into writing code that accesses the USB port or since the USB to serial device is handling the conversion to serial, do I stay with just coding to write out a serial port and pretend the serial port is already there...



I'm serial, I don't know where to start.


Could one of you kind sirs please give me a direction to look to get started? I have some C code to do the Pelco-D protocol but not sure how to access the pipe out the USB/Serial port.



Thanks


Vince
