Connection to Sciencetech Arc Lamp XLH Lamp Housing

[rikolu]

I am working with code that someone else built (and I unfortunately cannot share) that interfaces with a Xenon Lamp. The interfacing works fine until the command for the lamp to turn on is issued, at which point the lamp will no longer respond to any VISA commands, even if the connection is ended and reestablished or the buffer is read out.  I was just wondering if there is a precedent for this kind of issue in VISA/if this is a just a common issue or beginner mistake. I know it is hard to help without the code which is why all I'm asking about is whether this is something you've seen before and in what situation it was seen.

Thanks!
