Tektronix AFG 3102 Error

[UltraShlooklook]

Hello,

What does this error mean?

-410,"Query INTERRUPTED"

I'm Using Tektronix AFG 3102 With GPIB and some VIs from the internet.

It keeps popping up for no reason.

I'm new to this so if you could explain slowly and explain the technical terms, I would really appriciate it.

Thank you,

Guy.

That usually means you stopped listening before the instrument was done sending the data.  I have also seen that error when requesting data and then sending a command before allowing the instrument to send the data.

Will need to see code to really diagnose your problem.

Usually, it means exactly what it says - you start a query (i.e. a read) but before the transfer is completed, you send another command to the instrument.

All of your VIs should come from NI when you do Help> Find Instrument Drivers. There are then examples you can get with Help> Find Examples.

UPDATE: solved by using the delay tool in a while loop, which includes the inputs.

Reading your answer helped me understand this... so thank you!

This was probably caused by sending data to my device faster than it could execute the command AND be ready for a new command. Solved this by creating spaces between the inputs (my commands) - 1 second did the trick.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
