JTAG Digital Waveform transfered using USB or parallel port ?

Hi all
I was wondering if there is a way to send JTAG Digital Waveforms generated by LabVIEW into a parallel port or USB port.  I know that there is a way to use DAQmx devices with JTAG Digital Waveforms where DAQmx drivers take JTAG Digital Waveforms and transfer that into physical signals which is then send to UUT.  I really am in a need to try to mimic whatever a DAQmx can do to make that happen with a parallel port or usb port. I would really appreciate if you can help me it is very urgent.
Thanks

Hi Cristopher
I do really appreciate for a quick response. I am full aware of the fact that NI products for digital waveform generation will do the job, plus it is easier to implement them. However my goal is to use an inexpensive device that can generate external timing and my JTAG library and make .exe files from my final code and distribute that setup for several computers in factory. So buying several digital waveform generators from NI for each PC in factory will be a very expensive option. I think now you have a better picture why I am trying to find another inexpensive way to implement these digital waveforms using JTAG library. It would be ideal if I can use parallel port with some external timing to do the trick but I am really not sure where to start. Cirstopher I would really appreciate if you can come up with any suggestions in regards to this problem that I am having.
Thanks again.

  • Windows XP connecting Peer-to-Peer to Windows 7 with HP LJ 4000 through USB-2-Parallel port

    I am running a Peer-to-Peer network and cannot connect my Windows XP computer over the network the 'quasi-server' running Windows 7 that has a connected HP LaserJet 4000 printer connected via a USB-2-Parallel port.  The HP LJ4000 works just fine from the Windows 7 box (and serves ONLY as a backup printer) but connecting from either Windows XP PRO boxes will not work.  
    I have tried opening the Windows 7 Printers window and then updating the printer drivers, like it says it will, and that fails as well.
    ANY suggestions would be appreciated!

  • USB to Parallel Port connector plug for printer

    Hi
    I'm trying to get an old IBM laster printer (4019) to work with an ibook G4--I have downloaded the Gutenprint driver which is supposedly compatable but now I need advice on adapting cables for printers. I was going to buy a Sabrent USB to Parallel port connector but saw in the feedback that many people weer unhappy with it. Could somebody suggest the best USB to Parallel port connecting cable for me and where to order it? thanks very much.

    Hi Derek,

  • Digital waveform acquisition using DAQ digital lines-urgent

    Hi, I would like to use DAQ Digital input acquisition to acquire the attached waveform. The wavform is actually analog but olways varies between 0 and 3.3 V (  I use 6363 OEM) . I also have another waveform that varies between 4.4 to 5.8
    the problrm I have is for the first waveform I always read 0 and for the second waveform I always read 1., Is there any way to change the decision level when I select  digital input acquisition. Lets say when the voltage is below 4.6 consider it as 0 and when it is above 4.6 take
    Or I need to use analog acquisition
    Thanks

    According to the X series multifunction DAQ documentation for the 6363 the maximum level for a Low=0.8V and the minimum level for a high=2.2V.
    So your first signal (0 to 3.3V) should work ok assuming the digital ground reference is connected properly.
    The second digital waveform (4.4 to 5.8V) will either need some extenal conditioning or be read as analog and converted to digital.

  • Trouble connecting LaserJet6p to Windows 7 64 bit computer using usb to parallel printer cable

    The printer isn't responding at all--not even a test page. I've verified that the correct driver is installed and the computer does recognize the printer (even as the "default").
    Any suggestions?   The computer is working with my other printer through blue-tooth,,,,
    Thanks!
    Paul

    The USB-parallel cable needs a driver that supports Windows 7 x64 in addition to the driver the printer needs.  Additionally make sure the port settings are correct, usually the port will be something like USB001: or USB002: for the USB-parallel port. Some cables may provide a virtual LPT port such as LPT3:.  Check the documentation for your unit for details.
    The posts here list models of USB-parallel ports folks here have had success with in Windows 7.

  • Usb to parallel port converter

    Hello all
    I am having usb to 36 pin parallel port converter and i try to communicate with that to run a stepper motor.
    how can i communicate with that.?  I plan to use visa function for that, what are all the pins i have to be grounded. (Can i use visa write funtion for that?)
    i have read in forums for IEEE1284 standard i have to ground pin 11 and pin 12.
    And i dont know one more thing, in max i can see only COM ports without any problem and i cannot see any usb port in that.
    Is COM port and usb port are same.?

    This may make things more difficult. You can try if outport to the port addresses hex378 or hex278 works, but probably it doesn't. You may try to find out if your device has a different port address.
    A PCMCIA parallel port normally works like a standard one. with the 378 or 278 port address.

  • Can digital I/O lines emulate a parallel port?

    BACKGROUND:
    I am writing a VI that needs to sample multiple analog channels at high speeds (~2 msec) while simultaneously receiving byte-sized codes transmitted from a second computer (from either it's serial port or parallel port). These other posts of mine might help you get a better idea of what I'm doing:
    http://exchange.ni.com/servlet/Redirect?id=1052290
    http://exchange.ni.com/servlet/Redirect?id=1057299
    THE PROBLEM:
    I need a way to receive these codes at the same high sample rate that the analog channels are being sampled with, and they need to be on the same timing signal (so I know when the codes arrived relative to the analog data). Thus I can't use the built in serial or parallel ports, since the timing would
    be inaccurate at such high speeds.
    MY QUESTION:
    Is there an established way to make the digital I/O lines on a NI daq board receive codes from a serial or parallel port? I am using a PCI-6033e, so if I can just use the digital I/O lines on that board, that would be ideal. However, I would also be willing to buy a sepparate digital I/O board that could be linked (for timing purposes) via an RTSI bus, and use that to receive the bytes from the second computer.
    Any ideas for a software or hardware solution to this problem?
    Thanks,
    Zach Crittendon

    Thanks, Filipe. That's pretty much what I expected as far as the PCI-6033 card was concerned.
    However, one thing I failed to mention was that the host computer can only use its standard built-in serial or parallel port, not an NI DIO card (the signals are coming from antequated software that can't realistically be ported to use an NI card).
    So...is there a way to take a parallel-port signal from the host computer and have an NI DIO card on the client computer receive it? (Presumably after passing through some sort of adapter, if necessary.) If so, what sort of DIO card should I look at?
    Thanks again,
    Zach Crittendon

  • Connecting my gen 4-5 nano to new HP laptop windows 8 using USB 3.0 port computer restarts

    Connecting my gen 4-5 nano to my new HP laptop Windows 8 using USB 3 port itunes opens then an error message "your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart ........." WDF Violation. If I don't disconnect the nano the computer will keep restarting. After restarting a window opens saying it wants to send the following files to Microsoft "C:\Windows\Minidump\010413-20875-01.dmp, C:\Users\Curt\AppData\Local\Temp\WER-69015-0.sysdata.xml, C:\Windows\Memory.DMP". It does this using any of the 3 USB 3 ports. Using the USB 2 port it works just fine. Thanks for any help and as info.  

    I found the solution!!!  Even ended up educating the tech -- who didn't have a clue. 
    I have a brand new  7th gen iPod Nano, a brand new Windows 8 laptop, and iTunes 11. Everything was working all fine and dandy until I unchecked "Enable Disc Usage in iTunes on my iPod.  Then all **** broke loose.  I got the blue screen of death with the WDF_violation and I couldn't even plug my Nano in without it crashing my computer, let alone access iTunes to re-enable Disc Usage. Because the crashes happened immediately after I did that I just KNEW it had something to do with that.  Trouble is, I couldn't fix it.... or so I thought. 
    I was on the phone with the tech, who was telling me it was a driver issue ( impossible because both the laptop and iPod are brand new) and I was looking around in iTunes while she did. 
    HERE IS YOUR SOLUTION:  Edit --> Preferences --> Devices.  Check Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically.  Then plug in your iPod, re-enable the Disc Usage, and voile!!!!!!  Problem solved.

  • I want to communicate and acquire data using the PC Parallel Port.

    How do I to communicate and acquire data from the PC Parallel Port using Labview.
    Thank you in advance.

    One of the easiest ways is to use the INPORT and OUTPORT VIs. Find what port your parallel port is in and then send data to/receive data from that port. For more information on the port itself, try: http://www.lvr.com/parport.htm#Basics. If you are using NT (I heard some of the other new OS's have the same problem) then you need to download accessHW.zip from the NI site.

  • How to connect serial or usb or parallel port

    telll me how to connect our application with serial port and how to detect weather the usb is connected or not

    Without spending too much time looking at the documentation, from using previous similar transducers, the primary two connections you are concerned with are the "+output" and the "ground". The other connections are also important, but aren't directly the concern of the Data Acquisition Hardware. The "+output" produces a variable dc voltage relative to the "ground" input that is a product of the applied pressure, with the maximum output voltage, as shown on the chart, indicating maximum pressure. So you would connect those, through a suitably shielded, moderately short length, wire to the "DAQ" analog input. You will also have to supply the transducer with it's required + supply voltage at pin 2 "vs", and the power supplie's negative to the ground. There are whitepapers on this NI site about connecting to data acquistion hardware and I strongly suggest reading them a couple of times as well as anything online you can find. Writing the DAQ software, in LabVIEW or whatever, can be trivial compared to making the correct, low noise, connections to sensor hardware.
    I didn't read how the offset adjustment signal is produced or its use, figure it is designed to allow you to "tune out" some signal offset caused by differences between sensors of a type (they will not all have the same "fullscale output" as indicated in the chart).
    As you proceed, please keep asking.

  • Parallel port in network computer

    Is it possible to access the parallel port in network computer using labview?
    because i am having laptop i dont have parallel port in it.  If i connect my computer to network is it posible to access the parallel port in network computer.
    If not possible is it possible to use usb to parallel port adaptor.

    Define "possible". Lots of people ask if something is possible. What you really want to ask is "how difficult is it"? The answer is "yes, it's possible". How difficult? VERY. You cannot directly access it. You have to set up a messaging system between the two computers. Feel like doing that?
    If not possible is it possible to use usb to parallel port adaptor.
    Probably.

  • USB to Parallel Converter

    Has anyone had success using any USB to parallel port converter?  I've tried 3 different cables including one that supposedly supported the full IEEE-1284 standard, but all of them show up only as a virtual printer port.  Is there a way to get access to this port through LabView?  Are there any cables/converters out that actually show up as a regular parallel port?  I've searched far and wide for one, but had no luck.  I searched the boards to see if anyone had done this, but most of the posts were over a year old and had no resolution confirming whether or not a proposed solution worked or not.  Thanks in advance for any help,

    What OS are you using? I had the same problem with XP and LabVIEW 7.0 & &.1. But using the same USB-parallel  port converter under WIN2k I was able to access this as a parallel port. In the end my solution was to go to a PCI parallel port which worked fine under both OSes.

  • Laserwriter Pro 630, USB to Parallel, Original Airport Extreme-- in 10.6.4

    *If you have used a USB to Parallel adapter to place a pre-LPD/IP Laserwriter on your Snow Leopard machine, I'm looking for your input!*
    I have a Laserwriter Pro 630 -- no more AppleTalk in Snow Leopard. I'd like to attach it through my Airport Extreme's USB printer port.
    It seems that:
    - Some people have had success with USB to Parallel cables
    - Some have been able to do this without additional software
    - Maybe the cable is the issue
    - Maybe it won't be possible
    I read several sources that explained you can use a USB to Parallel cable to bring up the printer in Snow Leopard. I bought such a cable. In the *Add Printer* dialog, it could see the cable, but would not allow me to Add the printer.
    I found a thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12060195#12060195) that referenced what I was seeing, and the USBTB back-end. After installing that, I was able to print (though when I changed the name of the printer queue, it didn't work -- I had to add the printer again). Further, if Airport Utility, under Printers, it doesn't see the USB cable or the printer at all.
    I read an 11 page thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2073321&tstart=0) which referenced a handful of people using a USB cable, though several of them seemed to be able to do this without USBTB. It strikes me that if my printer (cable) required the addition of USBTB to the Mac, it might be that the Airport wouldn't be able to see it without that same backend.
    So I'm left wondering:
    - should I get a different cable?
    - should I install something else besides USBTB?
    - is it even possible to connect the LW Pro 630 to the Aiport Extreme over the USB to Parallel adapter?
    Thoughts, experiences... Sought!

    You should get a parallel print server and not use USB.
    Why do you say that? Many people report success using USB to parallel, and while there may be advantages of using a print server, there seems to be several disadvantages:
    1- another power-consuming device I have to plug in and either run all the time or turn on when I turn on the printer
    2- more cables and connections and configurations
    3- more expensive
    I should probably note, too, that I re-read the 11 page thread and went ahead and bought the one cable mentioned there (iogear's). It works fine, selecting the 630's PPD. It won't be recognized by the Airport Exteme.
    Oh well. Waking the Mac so I can print from the MacBook is pretty trivial, since to turn the printer on, I have to go to the same room the Mac is in.
