Hi,
I am very new to LabVIEW and having only used it in the last 3 months, I've managed to put together some codes to get the Instron 5800/8800 to work partially. There's a lot of things that I still do not understand but it has been quite exciting learning so much. So far, I've managed to set the crosshead to move based on my criteria, but I will experience an error mid-way through data logging. Currently, I set the data to read out while the crosshead is still moving, and I realised that it's when the cross-head reaches its end point that I will experience an EABO error (sent by the machine). The extraction of data from my buffer will continue for a few rounds but will eventually terminate without full readout. The machine uses GPIB and I'm using VISA in my codes. The data readout is done in a loop and has delays that match the time required for the buffer to be filled. I've looked through the NI website on EABO (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/2FA525A8585A92E9862566EE002A3755#EABO) error but I still can't figure out what is wrong. Any idea what is causing the problem? Any help or suggestion would be much appreciated.
Thank you!
