KE6485 Initialize.vi<ERR> Driver Status: (Hex 0xBFFF0015) Timeout expired before operation completed.

I  am trying to get a reading from the KE6487, but I am receiving the following error.

"KE6485 Initialize.vi<ERR> Driver Status:  (Hex 0xBFFF0015) Timeout expired before operation completed."

The driver I download for this device is KE6485, but is also compatible for KE6487. Therefore I think it should not be a problem.

I have attached the VI I'm using for your consideration.

Please advice, thank you for your time

How are you communicating? GPIB? Are you sure you have the correct address. Can you send an IDN command with MAX? Does MAX see the instrument?

Yes, I use GPIB to communicate. I think I have connected the device with the computer, cause I can see the GPIB device in the MAX. But when I sent an  IDN command with MAX, it reports an error just as attahed in my post. Also, when you say correct address, do you mean the address appears in the instrument name in the MAX?

There's a few things to check in the manual. First, is the *IDN? command supported? Second, does a command require a termination other than EOI, such as a carriage return or line feed.
