Hi Community Friends
I have a Rhode and Schwarz DSA (fairly new instrument for measuring BER and MER and Spectrum analyzer functions). I wrote a very simple VI in Labview 2010 to just write commands to it. It has an Ethernet port. I tried using Visa and also TCPIP canned Labview VIs, enclosed. It doesn't work. It times out on the Read command even with the *IDN? query, giving the error 56 of timeout for TCPIP and an error -1073807339 which is also a timeout for VISA. I looked at the forums and there are some solutions there but they don't appear to apply here. I am at a total loss. R&S is no help, they have not even released drivers for this instrument yet.
I am talking to the sockets they recommend, 5900 or 5025, and neither of them work. Nor does the IP address alone work either. The byte count is always 0 and the error message the same. If I use NI Max, it doesn't work either. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks and regards
