Error 6 occurred at GPIB Write in test_terminator.vi Possible reason(s):

[IREQ_TDS]

What is the cause of that error:"Error 6 occurred at GPIB Write in test_terminator.vi Possible reason(s):LabVIEW: Generic file I/O error.
---
NI-488: I/O operation aborted."
We are trying to communicate with a device throughout a GPIB-488.2 card.

Hi,
Reason : A possible reason could be that the instrument didn't have enough time to receive the command you've tried to send.
What to do : Try and increase the timeout value for the GPIB communications.

I had the same problem when sending configuration commands to oscilloscopes.

Hope this helps !

Hello,

Julien is probably correct. Take a look at the following KB that descibes possible reasons for the many different errors in gpib, and EABO (6) is one of those.

What if I have disabled timeout but I still get  this error?

Hi,

Did you refer to the linked KnowledgeBase article here? It lists a number of other possible reasons for EABO 6. Let me know how it goes!
