Post by: tivoi on August 15, 2006, 09:26:13 AM

I want use both LTP 1 and LTP 2, because i want use encoder for xyz axis. Need too much input, 1 LTP just have 5 input. If i use LTP 2 port I have more than 17 input. That right?  ??? ??? ???

Yes, you can use both. You need to make sure the port address for port 2 is right and that it is enabled.

Look in control panel of windows then go to the system icon then hardware then  device manager and look under ports. Right click your second port and go to the resources tab, the address will be the first four digits in the I/0 range.
