I posted this elsewhere, but I thought I'd give this forum a shot too
My question is this:
I'm going to use the parallel port to control a series of lights. It has worked before, in WIndows XP. First I need to see that the software outputs through the parallel port without plugging anything in.
Is there a software that lets me monitor the parallel port(s) to see if there is any data going through as my application is running?
Kinda like this little application: http://www.esc.auckland.ac.nz/mason/Courses/Computer%20Systems/Pictures/parmon.gif
I ran it in XP, alongside the program controlling the parallel port, and I could see the changes in real-time.
Thanks in advance
