“in port” and “out port” VIs are not in the functions palette!

Hi,

I am using LabVIEW 2012 on a Win 7 64 bit. I want to read a digital input (3.5V) using PC parallel port. I also read this white paper:

I searched all the functions palette for “in port” and “out port” VIs but I could not find them. Apparently they are not supported in 64bit OS. What are my alternatives for reading digital input via PC parallel port?

Thanks.

They have not been supported for quite some time. What happens when you use the recommended VISA api?
