Instrument I/O Assistant problems

[Ryan2]

Hi,
I am having trouble using the I/O assistant through my parallel port.  It is not writing to it.  The VI example, Parallel Port Read and Write Loop, works just fine.  Is there a way to use the I/O Assistant instead?

Thanks,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,

What sort of problems are you having?  You should be able to use the Instrument I/O Assistant to communicate through the parallel port.  This tutorial, Instrument Control in LabVIEW Tutorial, shows how to set up the I/O Assitant.  If that's not working properly, what errors are you seeing?  Have you run NI-Spy to see where those errors are occuring?  Are you sure that you are sending the correct termination?

Let me know if you need any other help,
