EXFO Burleigh WA-1000 waveleter responds correctly for a few to few hunderd measurments correctly (via GPIB Read command).
Suddenly then pops up an error saying
"Error 6 occurred at GPIB...Possible Reasons: LabVIEW : Generic File IO Error NI-488: IO operation aborted" ...on GPIB Read
Then I reset WA-1000, without quitting the program. And then press "continue" on the attached error, it runs OK for next few minutes.
Then again the error pops up.
( This instument an old style one, never responds to VISA commands. And is used in broadcast mode, wherein each reading is transmitted automatically to the port)
