IEEE and LPT

Hello !

I use LabView 5.0. I get a task of management of the measuring device with
the help PC without IEEE488 and cable LPT-IEEE488. Whether there are any
drivers or ready VI, which allow to solve this task? Where I can find LabView
examples, which will help me to understand principles of organization of such
management?

Normally Windows environment does not allow to access hardware
directly. The only exception is access to I/O ports from within Win3.1
and Win95/98, but not on NT. As for LPT, only printing jobs are allowed
for normal apps.

As I remember LabVIEW has I/O access VIs but not sure. But if your
app need interrupt handling or running on NT environment, you need prepare
appropriate VxD (95/98) or Kernel Mode driver (NT), as well as its wrapper
DLL. Then your LV app can call the DLL through Call Library VIs.

Hope this helps
