PORT
This port connects to the computer’s standard or enhanced parallel port (DB25).

Indicators
POWER This LED lights when power is applied to the DaqBook and the power switch is in
the “1” (ON) position.
P1-P2-P3 ACTIVE This LED lights when the DaqBook is in an active state. This LED is off when
the DaqBook is disabled or in the printer-pass-through mode. P1, P2, and P3
are software accessible from the computer.
BUFFER OVERRUN This LED lights for a buffer overrun error. This occurs when A/D signals are
converted faster than the PC collects the data. Depending on the application,
this indication may not be an error.
A/D ACTIVE This LED lights during an A/D scan sequence. If the sequence has a low
number of steps and occurs infrequently, this indicator will only flash briefly.
