GPIB-USB-HS and GPIB write error code 3

Hi

I have been using edgeport hub to communicate with an instrument which has multiple RS232 and one GPIB interace. The GPIB is connected to edgeport using GPIB-USB-HS. Max and LV 2010 communicates to edgeport via single USB. This set up is sucessfully used on a development PC (Win 7). Last week I moved the set up to a test machine which has additional RS232 and PCI-GPIB on it. I think the move was successful. however, one time edgeport experienced a power fluctuation and since then I am not able to communicate with GPIB-USB-HS. In LabVIEW I am using GPIB clear, GPIB trigger and GPIB write in sequence. 

I have attached current MAX setting for the GPIB-USB-HS and the VI i am using. GPIB clear and trigger says 'OK' while GPIB write ends up with 'Error 3'. I have looked into error codes here. The primary address is '3' and I am using that.

Interestingly when I went back to development machine, I am facing the same issue. Unfortunately, I forgot to document the MAX setting (only capture settings and forgot connections) , realizing how fool I am!  

Our old set up which directly takes GPIB cable (therefore no involvment of GPIB-USB-HS) works well. 

Did the power fluctuation affect the GPIB-USB-HS?

From MAX, did you also try to Open a VISA Test Panel for your instrument and test commands there? When you Scan for Instruments does your Edgeport still appear?

 

Damage to cable is possible, but damage to your device is probably more likely....
