My USB-GPIB-HS has screeched to a halt again.
The software using the adapter simply stops and is unresponsive. The only thing that works is unplugging the adapter from the USB. That includes NI-MAX, which can hang while starting. Unplug - NI-MAX starts and runs. Plug in and discover instruments (or any other GPIB transaction) - freeze. Unplug - unfreeze.
The first time was on XP SP3 and LV 9, with older versions of 488.2 and VISA. The adapter was removed and replaced with a different one. No problems there any more.
The questionable adapter was moved to a computer with NI-MAX 5.4, NI-488.2 3.1.1, and NI-VISA 5.3 It is used by a Python script. It worked fine for a few weeks, until today the same behavior again.
Any suggestions before I toss it and buy a new one?
Thanks
