Suggested 8-Sensor Installation
Shown below is a method to provide monitoring
on 8 sensors, with one computer and one LPT port
usage. It is not necessary to open your computer or
provide any additional software.
Use a commonly available db25 printer port
switch box to allow viewing 4 sensors at a time. Flip the
switch to view the other 4
sensors. These switches are commonly
available, or Wavenode can provide
one for you.
This is much easier, cheaper, and more
reliable than attempting to add additional LPT ports to your
computer. You can even use a 4-way or 8-way switch
box later if you need more sensors, or use the LPT
port for your printer or
other accessories.
