GPIB inconsistent behavior

[Drewski]

I looked at the code.  Do you need a non-default timeout change on the write command?  What happens after the error code, does it continually error or does it clear?

[RSibagatullin]

I don't think I need the non default timeout. If I continue after error it starts to continue to error on the  write GPIB vi inside the while loop.

[RSibagatullin]

I tried to add the 10s timeout into the GPIB write but it did not help.  The same error occurs.

Would it be possible for you to post a NI-Spy capture here? It sounds like your GPIB is not ready to write. Seeing what lines are asserted could be useful to troubleshoot.

How do I do NI_Spy capture? Is there a manual? Thanks.

[Drewski]

Start->Programs->National Instruments->NI Spy (to launch program)

Menu -> Spy -> Options -> Select 488.x API only

Click on Start Capture (green arrow)

Run your vi's

See what shows up.

Stop Capture (red button next to green arrow)

Save it, Post it.

Good Luck,
