Hello
I want to make a data acquisition system using a micro-controller/FPGA, interfacing it with PC via parallel port. I was just wondering if I could get a sampling rate of about 1.5 Mega samples/bytes per second (assuming one sample is 8 bit long). I mean I am only concerned about the parallel port. Do you think the parallel port can support this much amount of data to be read from using MATLAB or C/C++. If anyone has done something like that could he please tell me weather its possible to read 1.5 mega samples per second through parallel port.
Thanks and regards,
Muhammad Awais
