I am sending triggers via the parallel port, using the STIM to SCAN cable. When I check the "test trigger port", the triggers are all being received correctly. However, when running Acquire in Neuroscan, no triggers appear.

I tried different possibilities with a set-up of 32 channels :
When I write "255" to the port and then write "1", "254" will appear in Acquire
When I write "255" to the port and then write "2", "253" will appear in Acquire
When I write "255" to the port and then write "3", no trigger will appear in Acquire
When I write "255" to the port and then write "4", "251" will appear in Acquire...

With a set-up of 64 channels, no trigger appears whatever what is written in the port

Does anyone know of any reason for this?

Raymond

What happens if you wait a little time and then clear the port?  Some apps require seeing a rising and falling edge.  For example, what values does STIM, etc see if you try this...

Dim x As Long
For x = 0 To 255
 WritePort &H378, x
 Sleep 10
 WritePort &H378, 0
 Sleep 10
Next 'x
