If I have stopped the application in the debugger the LPT port is locked. What can I do?
The parallel port is locked for other applications after the board was initiated.
If you stop the application in the debugger the port is still locked.
To unlock the port you can reboot the PC or stop and restart the Tracii service:
In Windows XP/2000:
- my computer | properties | hardware | device manager
- menu: view | show hidden devices
- Non-Plug and Play Drivers: tracii
- Stop [Stop]-Button
- Restart [Start]-Button
In Windows NT:
- Control Panel: Devices: Select device "Tracii"
- Stop [Stop]-Button
- Re-Start [Start]-Button
