Replaced GPIB with VISA now some data loss

Solved!
Go to solution

Hello all, I'm using LV 2010 to acquire data from a HP 4192A impedance analyzer using VISA calls. The Labview supplied driver is pretty old and only communicates using GPIB. I converted the Measure VI to VISA and it seems work just fine. The problem I have is when running sequential reads sometimes the analyzer changes scales and there is a slight delay. During this delay the data acquired will read 0. I suppose my loop could check for a value of 0 and generate a pause but it makes more sense to fix the measure VI itself. Here are my files, any ideas on how to fix this? Thank you.

Just wanted to say after of playing around for a few hours I solved the problem by adding a VISA property node and changed timeout value to 5000. See the working attached VI.
