GPIB Write Error 7

[pd46]

doesnt work

Hi pd,

you didn't follow my advice!

Create a VISA resource name constant by right-clicking the VISAWrite Resource Name input. Select the proper resource in the pulldown menu of that constant.

As said before:

YOU CANNOT WIRE THE SIMPLE GPIB ADDRESS TO THAT INPUT!

Or RTFM!

Hey I got it now. It works.

I have small doubt. When we use GPIB Write function, there is a terminal for connecting 'Mode' which is sometime connected to 2 or 0 in different sub VIs as I see. If I replace GPIB Write with VISA Write , there is no option for connecting such a mode. What is this mode actually? Ignoring it comepletely is fine?

Also, thanks a lot.

Hi pd,

you could open the context help to read about the options of "Mode" input of GPIBWrite...

VISA uses property nodes to set certain settings of the VISA resource. Dig into those properties (Message based, GPIB based)...
