reading from parallel port

[moonty]

Hi ,

 I  desinged a circuit which contains sensors and I want to control these sensors and get the reading of the sensors  and display it in labview. I am using parallel port as interfacing with labview. I can  write to the circuit through the parallel port using data bus 2-9 pins.  and im using pins 1, 14, 16 and 17 as my control pins connected to multiplexer  so i can control sensors and send the reading uisng the same data bus 2-9 pins  from the parallel port but that didnt work.

Please can any one help me how to control the sensors and get the reading from the parallel port.

Thanks

For some time ago I was looking into it. But I did only some simple testing. You find more here

You will also find a example here ->\examples\portaccess\parallel port examples.llb\Parallel Port Read and Write Loop.vi

 Its not as tough just selcet from In port.vi from function palette and use this vi for parallel port interfacing. Read the whole help from the labview help. Either press Ctrl+H for help or select from the help menu directly and search for the In port.vi there is very much detail there. If still any problem let me know.
