Problem:
How do I install my parallel port DAQ device in Windows NT?

Solution:
Follow these directions to install your parallel port device:

Attach the DAQPad to your computer's parallel port and power on the DAQPad.
Open the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX).
Right-click on the "Devices and Interfaces" folder and select "Create New" from the pop-up menu (or "Insert" in some versions of MAX). You should see a "Create New" window, like this one:
Select your parallel DAQPad device from the list and click the Finish button. You will be asked to assign an LPT port to your DAQPad in the next window.
Select the port that your DAQPad is connected to by clicking on the Modify button.
Click the Next button to select your settings for analog input, analog output, accessory, and recalibration (if you are using the NI-DAQ OPC server). Click the Finish button to end your parallel port DAQPad installation.
