Hi guys,
I have a NI GPIB ENET 100 with a static IP, newest firmware and a motion controller MM4006 from Newport. I used both VIs by NI and Newport and initially I can read and write every command I want and it works, but both won't work after 2-3min anymore. I get the following error:
Error 0 occurred at Send in SendCmd.vi
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: Error connecting to GPIB driver or device.
=========================
NI-488: Error connecting to driver or device.
=========================
VISA: (Hex 0x0) Operation completed successfully.
Looking into NI MAX, I get an error scanning for instruments after I get the error in labview. I tried a Quantum Composers delay generator that works through VISA, unlike the MM4006, and nothing seems wrong. Everything works without any time limit. Switching back to the MM4006 and the error occurence, I then have to delete the GPIB ENET 100 out of MAX and restart the ENET100. Do I miss something? I used device clear as a last step and when I let it sit for 1 or 2minutes I get the above error.
Thanks Jan
