how can i use the parallel port

[Holger Hofmann]

I was wondering how to adress my PC´s
parallel port. I did'nt find a suitable
VI in the palettes.
Do I have to read/write somehow directly
to the port adress in memory 0378 ...?
If so, how can this be done ?

Thanks for any help,

Holsch

Look at "in port" and "out port".
Under Windows NT/Windows 2000 you need a special library for direct port
access, look for "hwaccess" or "accesshw".

Viele Gruesse!

Use VISA to read/write to the parallel port just like you would read/write
to the serial port. I would staty away from the inport/outport stuff. I believe
there's some articles in the KnowledgeBase if you get stuck.
