Having trouble to comunicate to the USB to Parallel device

Hi
 I have a USB to parralle device for my laptop since it does not have a parallel port on it. The device I am using is a Tripplite and it show in my device manenger as USB printer. I use the Visa Driver wizard to create an INF file.  I went back into my device manerger and it list it as NI-Visa USB Device which show me that I created the INF file proper. I went into Measurement & Automation Explore and open up the device and interface, which showed the USB as a raw device. When I place a meter on pin 2 and pin 18  of my USB device, The meter will show 5 VDC I then sent a comand on the test panel of a value of zero to turn off the data line and the meter will drop to zero. I then send a value of 8 to turn al lports back on and the device will not respond. I am new to this and I can usual figure out a problem but I am having trouble and I feel that I am missing something. I am hoping some one can point me in the right direction. I would like to use the port to control a device by using the 8 bit port.
 Thanks
 John

Maybe if you would explain what test panel you are talking about?
For USB Raw, you should look at the series of nuggets written by Intaris. The first one is here.
Before you reconfigured the device so that it's not a parallel port, did you try a VISA Write or Read to LPT?

  • Having trouble installing Arch Linux to USB key

    Hello,
    I have read the wiki article, but it doesn't answer my question. I am having trouble installing Arch to a USB key (8GB Sandisk Cruzer). I installled GRUB correctly, it booted, but the flash drive was write-protected. In the fstab file, I have the defaults and noatime flags in there. I have never experienced an error like this, and I don't know how to fix it. I have tried to reboot into the Arch CD and mounted the USB, but it just stalls and displays no output. Obviously, if I boot into my USB (you can still boot into it), and do "nano /etc/fstab", it says that I cannot write. In case you were wondering, I am using the root user. Thank you for all your help!
    EDIT: I have Syslinux, the kernel parameters is RW. If I run mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda1, it tells me something like:
    ata3.00: status: {DRDY ERR}
    ata3.00: error: {IDNF}
    end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 21
    Buffer I/o error on device sda1, logical block 0
    EXT4-fs error (device sda1): ext4_remount:4665: Abort forced by user
    I did NOT hit CTRL+C.

    I'm a nub, and I think I'll piggy back of aqua's post.  Perhaps we have the same problem
    I have an Asus UX31A with Xubuntu (with grub) currently installed.  I created the bootable USB as per the Arch Wiki UEFI bootable usb page.  I can boot into the main prompt where you can choose "Arch Linux Iso", "shell v1", "shell v2" and "Default prompt."
    Choosing the first option (to get to the the command prompt and begin installing) makes the screen flash once, then just hangs black.  Before the flash I think I see three text lines in the upper left corner, but they flash so fast I can't read them.
    Choosing either of the shell options presents the error:
    "Error loading \EFI\shellx64_v1.efi: Unsupported"  (replace "v1" with "v2" for the other option)
    Any thoughts?

  • I'm having trouble staying connected to the internet

    I'm having trouble "staying" connected to the internet.

    hmmmmmmm..........
    How are you connected to "the internet?"  There are many ways & you provided none.
    If wireless, are you using one of Apple's routers, or a 3rd part one?  If the latter post in their forums or contact their tech support department.
    Last but not least: 
    Please detail all you have done to resolve your issue.  Need this information so that the users can avoid the "been there, done that" scenario type responses.  This is to avoid repeating the troubleshooting you may have already tried.  Thank you.

  • I am having trouble with Itunes registering the Mp4 video that has been converted.  Help!!

    I am having trouble with Itunes registering the MP4 video that has been converted.  Help!

    What do you mean by iTunes registering the mp4?
    Which iTunes, on iPad, iTunes is a Store and it won't take your .mp4.
    On pc, check if it supports the mp4 (there are a number of different mp4 format) you have converted.
    Can you import it to computer iTunes?

  • I am having trouble getting mail from the server that my new iMac is connected to. I have to reboot the system to get Outlook for Mac to access the system. Any ideas?

    I am having trouble getting mail from the shaw server that my new iMac is connected to. I have to reboot the system to get Outlook for Mac to access the system and obtain new messages. Any ideas? Its at the point where I have started using the PC again as its less trouble.......

    In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".<br />
    See "Firefox connection settings" in [[Server not found]]
    You can find the connection settings in "Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection"<br />
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select No Proxy

  • Hi I am having trouble with iMessage on the mac book pro, it doesnt sync with the ipad and iPhone, both the ipad and iPhone do but not on the mac book pro , has anyone any suggestions, thanks in advance

    Hi I am having trouble with iMessage on the mac book pro, it doesnt sync with the ipad and iPhone, both the ipad and iPhone do but not on the mac book pro , has anyone any suggestions, thanks in advance

    First, make sure that all your devices are using the same Apple ID in iMessages including your Mac.  Second, your messages that you've already started on your devices will not show up on your Mac - only ones that you start from now on will show up.  Third, if you're still not syncing accross all devices, make sure you read the directions on the first page of this thread.  It should work after performing those steps.  Good luck!

    Is anyone having trouble with internet on the new macbook air using an old modem?

    Hello there adell723,
    I suggest taking a look at this article we have named Troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues in OS X Lion and Mac OS X v10.6 found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628?viewlocale=en_US.
    Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly
    Your Mac may not not stay connected to your Wi-Fi network reliably.
    Your Mac may stop accessing the Internet during use.
    Solution
    Use these steps if your computer disconnects from its Wi-Fi network unexpectedly.
    Check your range to the Wi-Fi router and reduce the effect of interference.If your computer is too far from your Wi-Fi router or your environment has too much Wi-Fi interference, then your computer may not detect the Wi-Fi network properly. The easiest way to check for range limits with your Wi-Fi network is to move your computer or your Wi-Fi router closer together and make sure that there are no obstructions (such as walls, cabinets, and so forth) between the router and your computer.See Potential sources of wireless interference for more information about interference and solutions.
    Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network. If your computer works fine when connected to a different Wi-Fi network, then the issue may be related to your network router or ISP. In that case, contact the manufacturer of your router or your ISP.
    If you have Mac OS X 10.8.4 Mountain Lion installed then I would recommend using Wireless Diagnostics tool which is on your computer already.
    Here is the article for it and how to use it to assist with wifi connectivity issues.

  • Having trouble threading frames, getting the wrong loaded cursor, not the chain-links

    Hi there, I am trying to thread frames, which hasn't been an issue for me previously. The cursor usually shows the chain link icon when hovering over the second frame, but today it is showing a square icon and when I try to click into the the second frame instead, it tries to create a new text frame. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    i had put the two text boxes on different layers before to show that they were separate frames, they actually live on one layer together.

  • TS1702 I'm having trouble updating my apps. the message that appears is that the security code of credit card is invalid. already talked to the operator of the card and everything is ok.

    I'm having trouble updating my apps. the message that appears is that the security code of credit card is invalid. already talked to the operator of the card and everything is ok.

    The address on the billing statement from the credit card company must match the information that you have filled in on the fields in iTunes when you set up the account. In other words you cannot abbreviate in iTunes if the information for you billing address is not abbreviated on the statement that you get in the mail. If the statement lists your street as "Street" and you type in "St." - that can cause issues. If that's not the problem, sign out of your ID, restart the iPad and sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again.

  • I am having trouble signing in to the App Store

    I am having trouble signing into the App Store to purchase an app for the Mac (Facetime for Mac). I have an Apple ID that works perfect with iTunes, additionally I used the same Apple ID to login to this support forum, again, no problems. However when I attempt to use it for the App Store, I get a message that reads, your password is invalid, it must have upper case, and lower case, and numbers etc. I am a single user, one person with one Apple ID on one iMac. Thank you for your time and help.

    Thank you. My Apple ID does NOT contain an upper case letter, and yet it works fine when signing into iTunes, and this help forum. But again, the App Store wants a PW with an upper, lower case and number. Perhaps I will have to make that minor change. Thank you again.
