Read parallel port with Labview 6

[m@th]

Hi

I want to use Labview 6 to read parallel port but it could be possible only with Windows 95 or 98 (dixit the "Help" of Labview). How to do it with 2000 or XP?

thanks

Try to use UserPort program, it enables using direct port access in win2k/XP systems.

The problem is not LabVIEW itself.
In Windows XP (and 2000 I think) access to hardware like the parallel port is very restricted by Winows.
Many other programs which uses direct access to the parallel port won't work with Windows XP, but works fine with Windows 95, 98, 98SE and ME.
For some programs the problem can be solved with a special driver/dll for the parallel port.
Try to search google for the problem.
The problem has nothing to do with the programs themselves, but with the way the new Windows versions encapsulates the parallel port.

Have a look at:

It's a description of how to use the Parallel Port in Labview.

With a big hello,

Hmmz,


I have done a project using the parallel port, I worked fine under a WIN2K machine... Be sure you have administrator account!

It should also work if you have POWER USER account.
