Is it possible to control the parallel port with Lookout 5.0

[Arne Waaler]

I want a simple demo setup on a PC, so I can control the 8 data bits of the parallel port. Example, to use START p/b that would toggle bit 0 and data returned on bit 1.

It is possible to send bytes to the parallel port using the ASCII object within Lookout. However, it is presently not possible to control the state of the individual bits on the parallel port with Lookout.

If you need to control the individual bits on a parallel port, consider using LabVIEW. It is much more powerful when programming serial and parallel ports.
