change timeout in 488.2??

[Sloppy]

I need to know how to change the I/O timeout in 488.2. 

27 people have viewed this but no response.

Is this a particulary tricky thing to do? I posted this on Friday but have not had any response.

surely it can be done programmatically?  if its covered in the docs please point me to the relevant place as I have searched and looked to no avail.

thanks.

One of the parameters for ibdev( ) sets the timeout

In any of the VISA drivers the Initialize routine most of the time has the GPIB timeout set and defaults to 30000 or 30 Sec. On some of the slower Spectrum Analyzers you have to increase to do long sweeps. I used the Initialize routine and modified to change the timeout value at instrument initialize. See attached VI. it shows the way to do for any VISA GPIB instrument
