Hi,
Have you make test in MAX with a simple query like *.idn?

I ever wait beetween 2 reads (500 ms) and the Time out is fixed to 1000 ms.
The error appears before the time out, so it's come from the NI contoler of the GPIB.
I have no problem when I use another GPIB device to drive the instrument.

iberr == Error 6 is a timeout error. It means that the command did not go through in the time allotted for it to execute. This usually means either that there is a problem with the communications link (cable is disconnected, instrument is not ready to receive the command, instrument is not powered on, etc.) or that the command needs more time to execute.
Try to use the function ibtmo for set a timeout.
(there is a post on the web http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=140&message.id=13349&requireLogin=False, with the same problem.)
