Kiethly 2400 Error 113 "Undefined Header"

[DanielMac]

Hello,

   I am currently using a Keithley 2400 both as a current source and as a measuring device.  The program I am running is based on the Keithly 24xx drivers  (http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=25B255F3AA83660EE0440003BA7CCD71). 

The program works perfectly for about 30 seconds of data collection, then shows Error 113 Undefined Header, then begins to work again after a brief interruption.  The error will then appear randomly after that.  Does anyone know what is causing this error and how to stop it?  My code can be found attached to the message

I ran NI SPY and the following was highlighted red: >

697.  viWaitOnEvent (GPIB0::16::INSTR (0x02D08828), IO_COMPLETION, 0, 0, 0x00000000)

Hello,

Looks like you are receiving a Timeout error (BFFF0015) on the viWaitOnEvent function. Can you please post the .spy file for the NI Spy Capture? Also, can you run your code under highlight execution and let me know where exactly the error is occurring?

Timeout Errors

Why do I Receive Timeout Error -1073807339 on VISA Write?

Thank you,

[DanielMac]

The error occurs when the VI code is at the "read single" point of the VI. When I watch the sub VI's, the progression is that under the read single VI, it occurs at the read multiple points VI, and under that VI with error 1073807339 at the Fetch Measurements VI, and under that VI it occurs, with the same error code 1073807339 at the VISA Read and the Property Node.  I have attached the spy file with just my program open, and with the Fetch program open.

I replied to the origanal message accidentally instead of this one.

Simran,

   I changed the timer from 10000 to 100000 in the initializer and the error occured only twice when I ran the code.  When I decreased the timer it continued to happen, but at the same pace.  While this doesn't completely solve the problem, it does make the program much more usable.  Thanks for the help.
