Bug in Agilent 34401 LabVIEW driver?

I was surprised when I tried to use this driver in a larger application. One of my other drivers puts a warning about "more data may be available" and when fed into the Read Single Point.vi of this driver it results in a full blown time out error message. I thought that other drivers were supposed to pass these types of warnings through without any ill effects? I found a workaround by erasing this specific warning message but was wondering if this is expected behavior? See attached with default warning message sent in.

Hello GovBob,

       Which other driver are you using that is returning that warning?  That other driver should filter out that warning if appropriate.  The 33401 LabVIEW driver is behaving as expected.  If you attach the updated code for the other driver, I can get it updated on IDNet (if that is where it is from).

 

Thanks,

NathanT,

 The Precon driver I am using is located here. I'm still confused as to why a warning flag coming in on the error input should cause the 34401 driver to fail. This same warning flag/error line is sent through this driver without any ill effects. I thought that a warning would just be passed through as it really isn't an error?

Hello GovBob,

      I recommend that you try changing the type of dialog that the Error Handler VI in your example is displaying.  You currently have it selected to display a dialog when it is passed a warning.  When I change it or just remove the Error Handler, it runs fine.  Please let me know if that does not take care of the issue.

 

Thanks,

 

NathanT
