Failed to acquire a wave using ivi dmm step with a FlexDMM NI-4070

[Pako]

I tried to acquire wave with a FlexDMM NI_4070 and a Read Multipoint ivi step from TestStand, it didn't went thru. Configuration step is: DC volts, 0.01 resolution, immediate trigger source, auto once range mode, 0 trigger delay, 100 multipiont sample count, 10 sample interval, 1 trigger count, interval sample trigger, none meas complete dest; Read step is: wave data type, Step.Result.Reading meas dest, 5000 time out, "failed" status on time out. What I get is failed status due time out.

Try setting your Timeout to 30000. The Timeout is in milliseconds, while the Sample Interval on the Advanced tab of the Configure step is in seconds. You have this interval set to 10. Setting your timeout to 30 seconds will give your Read operation time to complete.

Eric,
your solution was the right one, the problem arises because in the config panel it is diplayed: "Sample Interval(mS)" (TestStand 2.0.1), then I put 10 in this parameter hoping to have 10 mS as sample interval. Tanx a lot.

Pako.
