gpib, wait does not return after timeout

[OnkiDonki]

I use this code line:

gpibDevice.Wait(GpibStatusFlags.DeviceServiceRequest | GpibStatusFlags.Timeout);

I want to wait for a Service Request or a Timeout.

The IOTimeout is set to 1s, but the Wait function does not return after 1s.

What is the problem? Do I have to set any other timeout?

Hi Gregor,

I am sorry but this link that you send, did not help me. I am using this code within a c# application. This is a bit

different to LabView. Here is my full code:

gpibAddress = 1;

timeoutValue = TimeoutValue.T1s;

gpibDevice = newDevice( 0, gpibAddress , 0 , timeoutValue );

gpibDevice.IOTimeout = timeoutValue;

gpibDevice.Clear();

gpibDevice.DefaultBufferSize = receiveBufferSize;

gpibDevice.SerialPollResponseTimeout = timeoutValue;

gpibDevice.Wait(GpibStatusFlags.DeviceServiceRequest | GpibStatusFlags.Timeout);

And I still have the Problem, that this Wait Function does not return after the

timeout value - here 1s. Do I have to configure anything else from the GPIB device?

hi,

what is the state you get back from the gpibdevice.wait function? Is it 0? If not, what is it?

Hi Gregor,

the problem that I have is that this device.wait function does not return because of a timeout. It is like a blocking call.

So I can not say what the result is.

Another problem that I have is when a device is connected and this device sends a SRQ, then

the wait function only returns when the timout value is larger than 1s.

Are this two problems connected?

When I set the timeout to 10s and a device sends a SRQ then I get

GpibStatusFlags.DeviceServiceRequest

and

GpibStatusFlags.IOComplete

What can be the problem???????????????????

Hi OnkiDonki,

If you use an OR operator in a condition, you should use the conditionnal Operator "||"

You can try :

gpibDevice.Wait(GpibStatusFlags.DeviceServiceRequest || GpibStatusFlags.Timeout);
