Hello,
You will need to use the adapter if you experience a noisy square wave signal when running PicoScope.
Best regards,

Hello
You will need to check the parallel port mode.
Please check the BIOS parallel port mode for standard, output only or uni-directional.
Best regards,

Hello michael,
I've checked all the parallel port options and I've set the parallel port bios setting to be SPP (the other options were EPP, ECP and EPP+ECP). When set on SPP I get the not connected error. When set on EPP+ECP I get a flatline zero reading (while I am feeding a periodic test signal into it). I have modified the .ini file and I'm not using any adapters. Any suggestions, particularly on which adapters to use? |

Hello Peter M,
I am still not sure what you mean about adapter type.

hello michael,
in a separate thread i was posting in (see above for location) a pico admin sarah said this:
With the ADC-100 there are some other things to consider - are you using the parallel port adaptor for incompatible parallel ports? If so, have you inserted the patch in the win.ini file?
that is the adapter i am concerned about.
thanks,
peter. |

Hi Peter
Usually if you are using a version of Windows from 2000 or higher then you will need the adaptor. This is not always true but usually is. I recommend trying the adaptor with the patch in the win.ini and seeing if it helps - it will not damage the computer or hardware at all if you use it when you don't need to.
Best Regards |
