This is an easy one.. Click on the Windows START button. Right click on My Computer and select Properties Click on the Hardware tab and then select Device Manager You should see all of the system's hardware devices. Go down to the item that says Ports and click on the (+) to expand it. You will see printer ports labeled LPTx (x=1 to...) LPT1 is probably you port on the PC. LPT2 is probably the add-in card Right click on one of the printers and select Properties Select the Resource tab The first hex value seen in the first I/O range is the LPT port address. For my LPT port #1, it is 0x0378 (seen as 0378)
Do this for all of your LPT ports and associate the I/O address with the LPT number. -Tim --- Tim Ellison Integrated Technical Services -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ken Klein Sent: Thursday, October 05, 2006 9:56 PM To: 'Flex Radio' Subject: [Flexradio] printer port I've recently purchased a Velleman PCSU-1000 oscilloscope and Velleman K8016 signal generator. Two pieces of equipment I can highly recommend, especially the scope: 1G/s 2-channel 60 MHz. scope with a 25 MHz spectrum analyzer built in that drives a USB2 port into the PC with probes for less that $300! (You can check out http://www.designnotes.com/ for details.). The signal generator works with the scope to provide automatic bode plots, which I find rather useful. (Only up to 1MHz, though.) Anyway, the downside is the signal generator runs off of the parallel printer port. That leaves zero printer ports for the SDR-1000. Okay, I can buy a USB cable if I have to do that. BUT, I installed a Vitex PCI parallel printer port card that provides two extra printer ports on the pc. Great, except that I can't get it to work with either one of the units. I think the problem is that I can't find out what the printer port numbers are that correspond to LPT2 and LPT3, which are the two new ports provided by the PCI card. If I knew them, then I might be able to enter them into the space provided on the setup menu of the SDR-1000. Is that all there is to it??? Has anyone done this type of thing successfully? I'd really like to run all this simultaneously; I've been building lofer equipment, and this scope/generator setup with the SDR is perfect for this application. Someone out there must have run into the same problem as I have, and is using a printer with the SDR. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd very much appreciate them. Oh, and BTW, I'm not affiliated with Velleman; I just happen to have run into this scope and think it's pretty cool.
