How do you send bytes at parallel port?

"Hello,
I'm new to LabView and try to write a program, that lets me control the parallel port.
I know how to use the serial port, but I´m not sure if that is the same as the parallel port.
I need to control the voltaje in every single data pin (pins 2 to 9) for controlling external relays.

Thanks.

Hi,


You need to use the Digital I/O VI's in the
Data Acquisition palette. Have a look at the examples provided with LabVIEW for the Digital Input and Output. You should find something that should get you going.

Here is a website to do just what you want. It even has all the code you need to control all the parallel port pins independently.
