Agilent 53131A LabWindows/CVI device driver showing timeout error

[Maverick...]

Hi All,

I have developed TestStand sequences for Measurements using Agilent 53131A frequency counter instrument. I have developed 2 sequences one using CVI drivers and the other using LabVIEW drivers. The functionality of the sequence is as follows

1. Initialize the instrument

2. Measure the frequency for N number of times

3. Close the instrument

What I could find is the LabVIEW driver based sequence is working fine (for any number of measurements) but the CVI driver based sequence is showing Timeout errors after 1or 2 measurements.

Thsi is the driver page http://sine.ni.com/apps/utf8/niid_web_display.model_page?p_model_id=1003 

Can anyone help me to find the root cause of this issue?

Thanks in advance...

Were you using the VXI Plug and Play or IVI driver?
