We have an old application that we rewrote for our linear measuring devices. The devices use the Mitutoyo DRO-CARD 2 in the PC to communicate with the scale.
Our old application was written in LV 6i and ran on W98. The problem is we are going to be converting the hardware over the next year to a different technology, but need to incorporate the old cards until the conversion is finished.
In 6i we used the In Port.vi and Out Port.vi to access the card (located at Base address 210h). The issue we are having is that no matter what we try we can not get LV2010 to read the data from this card. I can not isolate wether the problem is with the new In Port.vi or windows XP.
If there is another way to try and access the card without using In Port.vi, I would be open to it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Attached is the 2010 version of the vi that we used to read the card.
