Read from parallel port

[paulhogan@my-deja.com]

I know it's possible to write some data to the parallel port using
LabVIEW, but I don'y know if it's possible to read from the parallel
port.
If someone knows, please advice.

Thanx for reading.

Paul

Yes, it is very easy to read from the parallel port. There have even been
some VIs floating around allowing you to use the parallel port for digital
I/O using the inport and outport VIs.

To just use it to communicate, just use the VISA VIs with the proper resource
name for the port you are using.

If someone has an example, i'll appreciate it.
Thanxs
