Dear all,
I met some difficutied on how to control my instrument (Photometrics Controller CC200) using GPIB/USB interface (NI-GPIB-USB-HS). I can control the instrument to do many things. For examples, I can control the camera to take a picture, and can show the picture on the monitor of controller CC200, also I can read the parameters of the picture. But if I use the command which was used to write the current image cache to hard disk in my computer, it shows the error EABO. I have tried all the termination method, but it doesn't work.
How can I solve this problem? Thank you.

Hi Miriam and Netherlands,
Thanks for your helping.
I have try to solve the problem according to Miriam's attachment, but it still doesn't work.
I use the Labview7.1. If it is too old?

Since you have not shown your code, it is impossible to say what is incorrect. The version of LabVIEW should be irrelevant.

Thanks all,
I have not finished my vis. I just use Measurement & Automation to communicate with the instrument. And I have tried to prolong the timeout and I have tried all the termination method.
I need to create the vis first even if I can't use Measurement & Automation to communicate with the instrument?
Another question: I need to save the *.img file to my computer from , so which function shall i use, ibrdf or ibrd.

I use either VISA Read or VISA Read to File. I have not used the low level GPIB functions for many years and I don't remember how to set the timeout value. With VISA, it's trivial to use a VISA Property node to set it. It's also easy with the VISA Interactive Control in MAX.
