How can I clear the parallel port?

I'm sending image-files to a custom made printing unit via VISA through the parallel port.
Sometimes the unit doesn't accept the file.
Therefore I need to clear the parrallel port completely and send the file again.
(Right now I'm switching off the unit and waiting for the error message from WindowsNT).
How can I clear the parrallel port via LabVIEW?
(VISA clear.vi doesn't work, the data is still on the port).

Rainer,
Maybe you can try the "VISA Flush I/O Buffer" vi (VISA - VISA Advanced -
Interface Specific). It worked on a serial port, but I have no idea if it
works
also on a parallel port. It is worth trying it.
Good Luck.

  • How can i us the parallel port of the printer to control a frequenz-generator?

    Hello all !
    I like to  control with LabVIEW 8 student-version, the Frequenz-generator gadget . For this challenge i like to us the parallel port of the printer. I need for data flow only 2 cable. The frequenz-generator gadget need two signal : Low and High.How  can i  us the parallel port of the printer to control a frequenz-generator gadget? I have us  the VIs-Visa  (Visa-Serial, write, Close ), but i dont no what command i have to write on the Visa-Write so that the Signal can be in the low or high position.
    Thanks

    Hi Jeanjac,
    first, look here:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_port
    to get the port numbering. also, be sure not to leave pin unconected, sometimes you might get an error message otherwise (i remember pin11 has to be always connected or so for windows...)
    second, just run the test panel in MAX and write something to your device to check if it works.
    then in LV, you have to decide to which pin is connected your instrument. in any case you have to address all 8 output pins together! this is a parallel...
    if you prefere to use only one pin, then you can use the serial port, with just pin 2 and 3 connected. it would work easier for you, since you address only one bit.

  • How can i use the parallel port

    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

    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.

  • How can I use the parallel port as an input channel to communicate with a SPECTROMETER?

    Hello,
    The sensing system we use is called: FieldSpec Pro from www.asdi.com.
    The spectrometer has a LPT terminal. I'd like to use LabVIEW to acquire signals from the spectrometer for further analysis.
    Thank you!

    Dennis,
    I appreciate your time.
    I have asked the copmany for such infos, but it seems to be confidential.

    About all that tells me is
    that I'm located in the same town as the manufacturer. You'll need to
    find some specification that describes the parallel port protocol.
    Without that, you're just wasting your time. Even if the instrument is
    constantly sending data, you'll need to know how to interpret the data
    and there's nothing that says it has to be sending constantly. Maybe
    you first have to write something to the port first. Talk to them and
    tell them you want to replace their software with software of your own
    and need to be able to read the data.

  • I have forgotten my password and locked my phone, how can i clear the problem

    I have forgotten my password and locked my phone, how can i clear the problem

    By coincidence, this happened to my son just last night.  You do NOT have to restore it to a new phone, but you probably want a current backup.
    Luckily, you can still sync and back it up even if it's locked, so connect it to the computer you usually sync it to. Go to the summary page. It's easiest and fastest to use a local backup, so if iCloud backup is on, turn it off and click "Backup now".  
    After it backs up, either click "Restore iPhone", or
    - hold home and the top button until the screen goes black, release the top and continue to hold the home button until iTunes says "iPhone in recovery mode detected". 
    Follow instructions to restore from backup, and then sync to restore content.  Your phone will come up in an unlocked state. If you have any stuff that was purchased directly to the iPhone (only), you'll have to re-download it. 
    Remember to turn iCloud backups back on if you use them.
    If you don't sync you iPhone to a computer then I *think* those instructions with the buttons will put it into a mode where you can restore it from the cloud (make sure it is NOT connected to a computer while you do this). Otherwise, you will have to restore it as a new phone, then go to settings, reset, then restore it from the cloud.

  • How can I clear the stored browsing history in iCloud?

    As the headline says, how can I clear the stored browsing history in iCloud?
    After resetting my iPhone, previous history came back as soon as I signed in with iCloud on it. I would really like this to not occur.

    The only place that Thunderbird gets suggested addresses is from your address books. I have seen some not show up in the books because some key info was never stored when the contact was saved.
    Sometimes you can start a new message and when the bad contact shows up select it. Create the message and save it to drafts. Then you can go to the Draft folder open the draft message by right clicking and select Open Message in Tab. Then click the star to the right of the contact and it will open the contact edit button. From there you can delete the contact.
    This does not always work though.

  • How can I clear the "Purchased" apps?

    How can I clear the "Purchased" apps list from the "Not on This Iphone" list of the Updates section of the App Store on my Iphone 4?
    There is no clear function.  If I Erase All Content and Settings in General Settings will that do it?  It'd be nice not to have to do that and erase all my data and media.

    Nick, you had the right idea.  Success!  I changed my email address on my Apple ID.  Then went to my Iphone and under Settings, iTunes & App Stores, press on AppleID: (I.D.inserted), Sign Out, Create New Apple ID.  Used the original Apple ID email address to create a "new" Apple ID, going through the whole set up process again, including billing info.  Then, when opening the App Store app there are no Purchased apps to display, because there are none on this "new" account.  The old account still exists in Apple cyberspace, but it is not tied to my iPhone or iTunes anymore.  There does not appear to be any way to delete an Apple ID.  Maybe after a few centuries Apple will discard it.  Maybe not.
