<div dir="ltr">Thanks, Ryan and Ben for the reply, <br><br>I actually tried changing it by the Lpt value first (see below) and when I initially went to change the port address I updated the refernce from "Writeport Lpt1%, x" to "Writeport Lpt3%, x" but this didn't seem to take either. Does the format remain unchanged or am I missing something here?<br><br>And are the x values (those specified after the Lpt port number) in a hexidecimal format? I'm wondering how the values below (i.e., &H2A, &H2C, etc.) translate into integer values when communicating with our acquisition software:<br><br><font color="black" face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size="3"><span style="font-size:12pt;background-color:white;"><div>If fb2type=0 Then</div>

I am using a dual port setup in order to send feedback-locked triggers to an EEG acquisition computer. The original task that we're using was programmed on a lab computer that had the common Lpt1 port address (&H378). We're now trying to run the task on a new computer that has an Lpt3 port address (listed as E010-E017). I've tried to run this using the different methods, using hexidecimal/decimal variations and combinations, but nothing seems to be working.<br>
<br>Has anyone ever come across a similar situation? Any helpful tips or advice would be much appreciated.<br><br>Cheers, <br><br>Nick<span><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></div><span><font color="#888888">
