Parallel Port Not Assigned

Changed my LapTop with ME to another one with XP. While trying to configure my DAQPad 1200, MAX 2.2 shows no options on the parallel port other than "Not Assigned". I have an older Lap also with XP and I could install the DAQPad. Both computers are TOSHIBA, Satellite. Is there a driver with corrected bugs for XP? Thanks for the help

8200 elite Parallel port not run

Hi to all,
On my elite8200 I can not run the LPT port on my windows7 64bit port with the address but F0E0 wrong with the management software for a CNC machine.
In the bios (updated) I can only edit the IRQ of the serial port (it looks like prunes A) For the parallel port can only choose between Standard ECC + ESP etc..
Does anyone know help me?
thank you very much

Perhaps a more complete model number would help. In looking with that limited model number there are several listed, even an AIO unit. In the models such as the small form factor model, there is no parallel port ( which is normally LPT ) shown. What actual output port is being addressed as the LPT?

Parallel port not detected in measurement and automation explorer

I have installed labview 2010 in windows XP.
The problem what I am facing is I could not find "Serial & Parallel port" option in Measurement and automation explorer.
After seeing the similar problem in forum I have installed Ni-Daqmx 9.0.2. But still I can not see the ports in MAX.
I think i have attached enough document .
If the parallel port is not detected in MAX can we send digital data to parallel port.
I have tested parallel port with LED connecting one leg in 1st data line(pin 2) and another in gnd(pin 25).
And my program is to blink the led for every one second but I cannot see the blinking.
Can anyone help in this regards
thank you

Thank you for ur reply Smercurio
I have changed the bios setting now
but still i cant see the printer port in MAX
Regarding my vi, now i changed it please see that also
I have given values to element of arrays as (1,2&4)
Now also it is not blinking instead it is glowing all the time without blinking.
What i have to do next.

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

I swtiched from LabView7 to LabView8.2, and now my parallel port on LPT1 is not more recognised (I am not able to use VISA to write on it). Why?

I switched from LabView7 to LabView8.2, and now my parallel port on LPT1 is not more recognised (I am not able to use VISA to write on it). Why?

Hi,
Sorry for the delay,
I need to know more informations about your problem. Have you check the configuration of LPT in MAX? Can you open a VISA session? Do you receive a timeout error when you try to write on that port?
You can find same importants informations about parallel port configuration for different versions of LabVIEW at this link:

Configuring the time capsule airport wlan function as "connect to wlan", the time caspule gets a correct IP adress from the other wlans IP range, but does not assign this to the ethernet ports. With Airport Express it worked!

Configuring the time capsule airport wlan function as "connect to wlan", the time capsule gets a correct IP adress from the other wlans IP range, but does not assign this to the ethernet ports. With Airport express it worked, the single Ethernet port got the IP Parameters passed through!
My setup is a Vodafon Esaybox connected to ISP. Time Capsule is not able to extend the wlan of the easybox, neither airport express can do.
Only the option "connect to wlan" is succesful.
With airport express I was able to connect my Sony Bravia TV to the lan via ethernet to stream pictures, the TV set got an IP adress from the easybox.
With the time capsule the easybox dosn't find devices connected to the ethernet ports to submit IP adresses. The TV set get another IP adress (169.xxx.x.x.) in subnet mask 255.255.0.0 and I don not now where from.
My notebook is a MacBook pro.
Any idea????
Thank a lot in advance!
Kind regards
Ingo

Neverthe less, could there be the chance, that this feature could be implemnented with an firmware update?
That would appear to be a question for Apple to answer. You can make suggestions to Apple here:
Apple - AirPort Extreme - Feedback
If the AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule are configured to "extend a wireless network" they will provide additional wireless coverage....and...the Ethernet ports are enabled in this type of setup.
The "catch" here is that you must have an Apple router providing the network to be extended.

My parallel port cannot work on win2000 and new pc

I was troubled by the reading/writing from parallel port on win2000 for a long time. I had made my programs work on win2000/OLD PC, but i failed with the same programs on win2000/new PC. I tried with the method from the forum, that is, install accessHW and other method from my colleagues. Allways failed. I have to return to an old pc, it work! I think not only win2000/winxp will influence parallel port work, but also pc hardware. My new PC is Dell's GX260SMT with p4 2.4G. Dell's FAE told me that i can not install win98 on the pc due to some limitation of mainboard. Who met the smae issue as mine? How to fix it? Thanks for any help.

I typically stay away from Dell PC's. I always have problems with them..
I'm surprised to read that a new PC doesn't support Win-98. Have you / can you try Win-NT 4?
I can't understand why Win2K would be different with a newer PC. The OS assigns the base address of the parallel port to a typical value of 0378h. This is for LPT1.
My question would be: Are you having problems with LPT1 or do you have a PCI-based Parallel Port (to add ports)? If so, you cannot change the base address with Win-2K or Win-XP which assigns a PCI base address to the port.
Can you provide more details as what exactly changes between the 2 PC's. Other than the motherboard and typical hardware (of course).
How is the parallel port configured?
What are you doing
with it, etc?
Any information that can help figure out a solution.

JLV

2nd Parallel Port address problem

I bought a PCI parallel card and install in the computer. After installation, computer(window XP) automatic assign the 2nd parallel port to 0xC8C8 (which is virtual memory). I have software directly talked to Parallel port. It works fine with 1st port (0x378). When I change to address 0xC8C8, it could not work.
There is something related to address. I use outport8.vi to talk to port. In this vi, address is I16. It only works with I/O memory range. My question is
1. How do I change the address 0xC8C8 to Legacy address, such as 0x278? It does not work in XP.
2. If I could not change port address, how do I talk to parallel port using some available vis?
Thanks,
Lucy

Hello Lucy,
find attached a simple Test-Program .... your Address 0xC8C8 is selected, if you choose LPT3.
I had in the past the same problems on different Lab-PC's and additional PCI-cards. I solved it with "LPT.vi" - in example used as sub.vi - I think, this should be an acceptable workaround.

Problem with JNI and Parallel Port dll

Hi. I'm doing some testes with JNI. Firs i followed the netbeans tutorial for doing a C programa that prints somthing for java.. like.. "Hello java from C".
So i tried to load a dll from my dll. Like, I have this dll to use the parallel port on windows Xp. So i created a dll to access it an comunicates eoth java.
I did everything just fine.
When I start my Java app, the first thing it does is to load this parallel port dll and configure the functions of it.
After that .. I get this error
EXCEPTION_FLT_STACK_CHECK (0xc0000092) at pc=0x0093d269, pid=2284, tid=3000
Can someone explain why ?
(Sorry if i wasn't clear enough, english is not my native language, so ask if you don't understand something.. )

hi ,
I met the same problem this morning, and searched the www.google.com in order to solve it, as a result, your article was shown on my screen. :)
Till now I have read some technical information and solved my problems. Maybe the solution be useful to you:

Control parallel port (data and control lines)

I need to control the output on the parallel port (LPT1) - Both data and control lines. Once the data is written (Pins2-9), I then need to toggle the Sprocket signal (PIN1) - on the parallel port. The sprocket signal is also referred to as the Data Strobe Output.
The required method is as follows:
1. Lower the sprocket signal on PIN1
2. Send the data (Pins2-9) and wait
3. Raise the sprocket signal and wait.
4. Repeat.
I am looking for a method to control the data on LPT1 pins 2-9 and then be able to toggle PIN1 - Strobe signal - without the data falling from the other pins. What I have found is that whenever the state is changed on the strobe - the data that was written to Pin2-9 falls to zero. This will not work for my application - the strobe tells the hardware device that the data is ready. If it falls to zero when I toggle the strobe - that will not work.
Regards,
Guy

Hello Adam,
I am familiar with both references. If you look more closely at the library reference - it allows me to communicate using VISA across the parallel port pins 2-9. It does not permit direct communication to pin1 (the strobe signal) - property nodes don't allow the strobe to be refereced either (similar to control lines/signals for COM ports).
Worse, I have also located examples using OUT PORT that does enable pin1 to be toggled. The problem is, when those VIs are used, the data falls from the data pins when the strobe signal is written, even if its value is not changed. For example, if the strobe is already high, if another high value is passed, the data falls from the data lines. The other issue, when using VISA, as soon as the data is writen, the strobe signal automatically goes high even though I need a wait before setting the strobe high. This is in complete contradiction to the second article you referenced which clearly discusses writing data to pins2-9 then taking the strobe high to indicate to the printer that new data is available. It must be possible since this is the typical handshake.
I am still looking for a more complete answer/solution.
Regards,
Guy

Parallel Ports vs. Trashing Printers

Recently bought 3 new workstations: 2 w/Windows 7 - - 1 w/Windows XP Pro... Question is: my old HP Laserjet 2100tn will not work with these computers due to their not being a paralel port on the back of the computer.
Do they make converters for the cables to make them work? Or is the printer basically worthless at this point?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

You can purchase and install parallel port adapter cards and the printer will work. I can't specify which cards as you haven't stated what the specs are on your workstations. There are also usb to parallel port converter cables available.

How can I write to the parallel port using LabVIEW 6.0.2

I have tried updating the labview.ini file and also using the parallel.llb available on the site. When I execute the program it gives me error 37 saying,"device not found". I am running this code on windows 98. I tried to use VISA write,serial port write (using port 10) but nothing seems to work. I also tried to develop a sample code using inPort and outPort, but no success, it is not able to read the data back from the parallel port, even if it seems (????i don't know any way to cross-check it though????) to write.
Does anybody know the problem here?
THanks.
Pari.

Thanks Brian.
Well here is the next problem. I got a VI (attatched) off ni.com and it works fine on a windows98 platform. But quits working on NT.
I can write perfectly (which i checked by hooking an LED display unit at the other end of the parallel port cable). I observed that the LEDs respond to the toggling of individual bits (data bits). But the error occures at the "out port.vi", when I try to run it on a NT machine (where I actually wanna use it). Are you aware of any changes to be made in order to run a VI on NT that works on 98?
Thanks again.
Pari.

Using XP software with a parallel port dongle in windows 7 professional

Please help... Looking to have my parallel port dongle recognized for my older version software (XP) in Windows 7 under the XP PC mode. Help in figuring out if LPT1 is set correctly or what I am doing wrong.
Thanks

Hello,
I have W7 Professional 64 bit with Windows Virtual PC/Windows XP Mode installed. I have some older programs installed in XP Mode and they are working properly.
Unfortunately, I have one older program that I currently have working on an older XP Machine and that program requires a Sentinel dongle to be seen on the LPT1 Parallel Port. Since my W7 computer has an LPT1 Header on the mother board, I have purchased and
installed a PCI-Express Parallel Port and I have the ribbon cable connected to the LPT1 Header.
After I enabled the parallel port in the bios, I could see LPT1 in the W7 Device Manager and in the Windows XP Mode Device Manager. However, when I click on
Windows Virtual PC, highlight Windows XP Mode.vmcx and click on Settings, LPT1 does not appear.
I have installed my old program in Windows XP Mode and it starts to run but, when it gets to the point where it must see the Sentinel dongle on the LPT1, the
program does not find the dongle.
I also purchased a Manhattan MHUSB to DB25 Parallel Converter and plugged it in. It said that it found new hardware and installed drivers for it but that didn’t
work either.
I am not married to any particular solution. So, I would use a USB Adapter or LPT1 connected to the mother board but there must be some code editing or changes
in settings to make the dongle work in XP Mode.
Can you tell me how to get W7 Professional 64 bit with Windows Virtual PC/Windows XP Mode to find the Sentinel dongle
on LPT1?
Thank you,
Dan

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.

Satellite A200: How connect a parallel port printer?

Probably a very silly question, but would like to connect A200 series laptop to a parallel port printer that does not have a USB port... what is the best option?

Hi
You ask for the best way?
Well, you have got only one way?
You need an USB to parallel adapter. Check in the google for some offers.
I searched in the google and found some good options.
Maybe this could be a good choice;
