Visa Status Code: bfff0015 Timeout

[microes]

Hello all,

i'm currently using Anritsu MT8852A and Instrument I/O Assistant to link up using GPIB cable, i was able to query and write simple commands such as reading the no. of packets used etc.

When i tried to set some values such as low frequency TX value (PCCFG 10,LTXFREQ,FREQ,2410 MHz), it gave me a timeout error BFFF0015.

How do i go about changing the timeout value and no. of bytes? Will be thankful if anyone could show me how to do it.

-regards-

Hi,

You can use a property node to set the timeout value, the default value is 10 seconds.

I don't know this instrument, but its not usual for a timeout to occur on the write commend. It's more usual for a timeout to occur on the read command, where the instrument fails to send back data in the time provided.

The list of commands you are sending, do any of them require a settling time before the instrument will response to the next command. Check the instrument manual.
