Accessing printer port control lines

[Peter Nyffeler]

Is it there a way to set and read the printer port control lines with Labview?
The oparating system will be Windows2000 or XP.
I would like to select the channel and readout an ADC with MUX (LTC2408).

See if the tutorial here answers your question.

Hello Peter,

there is no need for separate Control of ADC + MUX;
they might be tight together - shown in Datasheet.

But of course you can use the Control-lines of paraport. For W2k you will need accesshw on you machine: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/explprog.nsf/webmain/49664743ded6f1da862564bc004e3a7f?OpenDocument

I have made some vi's for DAC's and ADC's @ paraport - e.g. MAX168 or DAC714.
If you need some inspiration - let me know..........

Hello Werner,

Thank you for your answer in the newsgroup.
Do you know, does accesshw work with XP and all Labview versions?

Would you mind to send me your DAC's and AD's vi's? That would be great.

regards
Peter

Hi again,

at first I want to pass you to link:
http://exchange.ni.com/servlet/ProcessRequest?RHIVEID=101&RPAGEID=135&HOID=506500000008000000648C0000&UCATEGORY_0=_49_%24_6_&UCATEGORY_S=0

There you will find some SPI - examples; including AD5207 dig. potentiometer project and DAC714 saved in .llb. Find attached in addition the vi for MAX168.

Hope it helps.

Werner
