[69dodge]

I will try these settings at work in the AM.

That worked perfectly. Now, I am trying to print. I have a printer intalled on LPT1(25PIN) and when I tried the test page in windows it printed, but I cannot print out of PCIS. Any ideas??

Great!!! I knew if I keep guessing I would someday help someone that only took just over 2000 tries

Can you print to a PDF file?... just another guess, but I have no idea as I have never printed it

Give it up...

I spent my whole attention span trying to print from within/outside of dosbox and never got her done. I even tried printing to file and it never came close to working.

After 7.2 minutes (my ADDD* limit) I decided to take mutliple screenshots to get an image of the ladder.

Pieace!

It appears you were not giving all of your attention to this!

I've given up on printing for now. I can thumb it out on MSWorks Spreadsheet fast enough. Does anyone know if MS Visio has a ladder logic template?

If you could zip and attach the application files, I could open it here with PCIS. I would then convert it to a text based or document based file for you. Then, I would re-post it so that you could open it with Notepad or Wordpad. After doing that, you should be able to print it normally,(not going thru DOSBOX or PCIS).

I was able to do a pretty spiffy job in spreadsheet, nice address descriptions, database (sort of) and then saved as a PDF. How dow I convert to text from PCIS without doing it manually?

I would also to thank everyone and GIT for the help.There is just one thing, I cant get my laptop to talk to the slc 150. I have checked everything (I Think ) to be sure that it is not my laptop or settings for the serial port. My hand held programmer works with the plc and I have swaped cables as much as possible but still no luck. The asssembly of cable came with the slc in a cnc mill of the 1990 vintage. the cable is interface converter 1745-pcc and I assume that the cable adapter from a db 25 to db 9 cable is a factory item. I suspect this assembly is the problem. Thanks Mike'shop.

Hi Mike,

Are you using a USB adapter? if yes make sure that you have the correct com port set up in DosBox

Not a lot of time today... this is a procedure that I wrote and it may help www.plctrainer.net/DOSBOX.pdf

You can also give me a call... 5 min on the phone can replace a lot of emails

My procdures will work with my cables or AB's

I think geniusintraining is the best source for help. Also, I think there are posts on this site on how to build an adapter using a short-haul modem or a rs-232 to rs-422 convertor.
See this thread, post 5 & 6 for more info.

Easier to just buy one

I agree completely on that, especially if you dont already have a short haul modem or 422 convertor.
