Use of FindLstn in Labview

[KJRichter]

I'm struggling with the Findlstn function in Labview.  It's returning "Labview: Configuration Token not found", and "NI-488: Table Error".  I'm guessing the format of my address list input isn't correct - I'm using a 1-D array of word - but can't find an example or relevant guidance on the error messages.

The address list is just an array of numbers which are the GPIB addresses to check. Did you specify a value for the "limit" input? It defaults to zero. Don't ask me, I have no idea why, either.

You are/were exactly correct; once I specifically connected all the spigots - even those I'd presumed to have useful defaults - the darn thing started working. 

Thanks for the time/effort to respond.

Hi, I also encounter such problem. And am glad there's a solution here. But I'm not sure what to set. May I have a detail explanation on what to do in order to solve this problem ? Thanks a lot !

The specific issue here was that if you left the limit input unwired, it defaults to zero, which generates the error condition. You need to wire a non-zero value to the limit input, such as the size of the array that you are providing for the list of GPIB addresses to check.

Note that you can also use the VISA Find Resource function.
