• VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF0015) timeout expired before the operation is complete.

  Hello

  We use LabView to control a sequencer of high-voltage (HVS448LC 3000 D) LabSmith using LabView drivers from the manufacturer, power supply. Everything works well in our program (attached) until we try to use another program on the computer at the same time. For example, if we try to open a window for our camera, or even a folder in Windows, the program gives the following error:

  1073807339 error has occurred in the CITATION read in FromHVS448.vi-> CommandHVS448.vi-> RegulateVoltage.vi-> Gated timed injections version 06.the vi

  Possible reasons:

  VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF0015) timeout expired before the operation is complete.

  We would like to be able to control the camera software and the power of LabView by using the same computer, but we do not know what could cause this problem. We would appreciate any suggestions! Thank you!

  You should really put a lot of orders of pre-instrumentation in parallel.  Force an execution order by using the wire of the error.  Serialize all commands to the instrument.  You may have an order interfere with one another.

• VISA Read Timeout error when using stream protocol BUS

  Hello

  I currently use the BUS Flow for a MFC Protocol and I get a time-out error VISA Read:

  Error 1073807339 occurred at VISA read in Send Setpoint.VI-> test.vi

  Possible reasons:

  VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF0015) timeout expired before the operation is complete.

  I extracted the part of the code and it attached to this message. Basically, whenever I hit OK to send a VISA just read set value times out. I tried to use the sub VI who is responsible to send the set value and it was fine (when manually, I copied and pasted the ASCII codes) but when I run the global function it times out.

  Any help is appreciated

  Thank you

  If you have a command string or a constant you enter a \r\n in, you MUST have '-' Codes view turned on in order to enter the actual control characters. If you enable "\" Codes to display and see \\r\\n, then you have used Normal display to enter the characters.

• Interactive Control VISA & VISA Read timeout expired

  VISA control gurus,

  I am trying to contact my wireless AGILENT N8300A Test set.

  I am able to do the same thing via NI VISA Interactive Control...

  (Attached is the captain)

  But if I tried to do the same thing with a sample program.

  (Also attached below)... program shows a

  VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF0015) timeout expired before the operation is complete.

  I tried to use Async mode and synchronization in the VI... Reading VISA.

  But it always shows error timeout.

  I'm not able to understand what could be the difference, if it works well

  in an interactive control NI VISA, but not in my program

  Any help or pointers would be appreciated...

  Kind regards

  Hello

  very good that you have added the vi.

  You add a CR instead of a line break.

  You can do that in the string by selecting "------" mode for the string constant, you can use any string appearing in your comment as the display string constant.

  Good luck

• VISA reading significantly slows down to 20 Hz (Labview, Arduino + Xbee project)

  Hello

  I am quite new to Labview and Arduino, so I apologize if I use the incorrect terms. I'm having some trouble with the next project, I hope that you guys can give me some advice!
  I have 16 sensors connected to the 16 analog pins on an Arduino mega Board. This Council has a shield mounted upon him, with a Xbee module wireless. I have another Xbee module that communicates with him and it is mounted on a USB dongle that plugs into a PC with Labview 2015.

  The A/D analog Arduino pin output is read and sent every 50ms to the Xbee module connected to the PC. So every 50ms (that is, a frequency of 20 Hz), a new line of analog readings by commas is sent, using AnalogRead and Serialprint in the Arduino. These data are fed to a Labview code with architecture of producer-consumer. Copy the following code configures a serial port of VISA, reads the data, it converts a voltage value and writes the data to a text file (see block_diagram.jpg).

  The problem is that at a frequency of 20 Hz (with the configuration of the attached jpg) when you reach 400 treatment iterations the code slows down considerably and values are not parsed correctly. It behaves as if the queue is full (but the queue of elements indicators show 0) or memory or the buffers were full. It seems quite surprising to me given that the sampling rate is so slow. I tried a few configurations setting the buffer size, empty the buffer by using the queue time, but nothing seemed to work. Is it because the processor loop takes too much time to iterate? I tried to disable data analysis, conversion of voltage and the generation of text file, just keep reading and still have the same behavior.

  This may be the cause? Suggestions to change the block diagram are welcome! Is there a better way to do this than with VISA or queues...?

  I use Labview 2015 on Windows 7.

  Thank you!!

  You think along the good things. But the big problem I see here is that you have a table growing up to stop the program.  You must move the file writing to be inside the loop of your consumption.  This will eliminate the need to constantly develop your table in the shift register, with tons of memory and causing copies of memory (which is very expensive).

  The other concern I have is the speed at which data is available.  If you have a baud rate 9600, then in the 50ms debit you can pass 48 bytes.  This leaves 3 bytes per sample, including the comma.  If you have a debit 115 200 baud baudrate, it turns into 576 bytes, you can send the 50ms.  So the lesson here is to make sure that you use a transmission speed which is fast enough to handle the data that you want to send.

• VISA read lose characters beyond the end of the output string

  Hello

  I wrote a VI to take a string of output data of an ardunio Uno and analysand. I use the vi read Visa to enter the output channel of the unit. In the end I will connect a device that actually gives the value in this type of format string: (#80212164,2289,2292,2296,2300,2328,2289,2297,2290,2300,2308,2292,2295,2298,2289,22,24,0 *).

  So after a large number of loops, the program starts to drop the last characters of the string that it generates. If the string of Visa Read output reads something like (#80212164,2289,2292,2296,2300,2328,2289,2297,2290,2300,2308,2292,2295,2298,2289,22,24,). The only way to solve this problem, once it has occurred must completely close labview (completely). Once I open again and start the program running, all is well in the world.

  Has anyone had this problem? I tried to debug it in different ways and the only weird symptom I have other Visa Read function lose a few characters of the string is the fact that by looking at the bytes to the Port after I read visa, is that she starts showing five bytes instead of zero.

  my last attempt at resolving this issue is attached.

  Note: The Ardunio outputs a string of this format every 2 seconds with the values being incrimental on a specified range. (80212164,2289,2292,2296,2300,2328,2289,2297,2290,2300,2308,2292,2295,2298,2289,22,24,0 # *)

  You can configure the * your character of termination if your Arduino does not send the carriage return or line feed.  Use the configure a Serial Port to ensure that your settings are correct.  You can also use this VI to increase your timeout so that you no longer need your waiting.

• Visa reading reads all bytes to the port

  I have a camera that I communicate via the Serial Port. I have a standard communications protocol. For a particular command, I know that the exact number of bytes expected in return. I send my order. I see the correct number and exepcted to bytes in the port. I then read the number of bytes in the port. However, the VISA read returns only the first two bytes.

  I contacted success with this camera and this Protocol for more than 130 commands unique and different. There are only about 6 orders in which the read visa does not read all the bytes in the port. Anyone know why that would happen?  I expect to see 6 bytes. I see 6 bytes. I have visa read the command with 6 bytes. The visa read returns only the first 2 bytes. It's very very frustrating. I can do this exact process even with a different command. I expect 45 bytes of this command. I see 45 bytes with this command and I read 45 bytes with this command.

  I don't think that it is device connected as I can converse with success with the same camera on the same computer with the same cable of connector using non-LabView. It seems to be a problem strictly related to labview and VISA read the order. If someone could help that would be greatly apprecicated.

  Thank you.

  What is the exact byte stream that await you in return with this command?

  Instead of opening VISA, use the configuration Serial Port VI.  In this way, you can override the default values.  It looks that your instrument using all the defaults VISA of speed in baud rate, start and stop bits, etc.  However, in the VISA software, there is a failure to use a termination character, and this character is 10 (0x0A).  If you use the configure Serial Port, you can tell the pilot VISA do not use the stop character.

• VISA read very slow communication

  Hello

  IM using serial communications VISA in my project and I noticed that the reading block works very slowly.
  I have the microcontroller that connected to my laptop through XBee modules.
  Baud rate is 9600 due as a change factor in each component in the line won't make a difference at all.
  Also, I checked that it work with terminal XCTU and its working fine (very fast). so his can not be something else except read VISA.
  Please see VI attached file.

  Thanks for any help,

  If you do not use a stop character, then the read VISA will sit and wait that 100 characters have been received by the COM port or the timeout elapsed (which is probably something like 5-10 seconds long). You can change the time-out period (using a property node) or reduce the number of characters you read each time that the loop runs.

  Without a termination character, you will need to build your own string using a shift register buffer - whenever you make a VISA read, add it to the chain on the shift register and then do some analysis to take control of your microcontroller (e.g. alarm, coordinated) and remove all the foregoing orders of the string buffer (for example if you have started the VI in the middle of a command) ", then you don't want to throw these data).

• Why visa read reads most bytes sent

  Hello
  I use visa read and write to communicate with the device via RS232. I sent several string commands.i just use serial communication of basic to read and write the commands.my total length of string is about 6626. I also used the size of buffer of about 7000. When I send the string to write Visa, I'll get a number (byte) output 6626 sometimes and sometimes less than that. I also used the property node for the bytes to port I used the number of bytes to read visa. But as number of output here, I get a lot more like over 6670 and sometimes less than 4000and 6620 and sometimes only some and 5000 and some.it doesnot remains constant. How can I solve this problem? why I get more bytes that I sent as exit visa read? and sometimes less? And sometimes more visa write number of output?
  waiting for help.thank you.

• increase speed visa read write

  Hi guys,.

  I use the visa read and write the example, but I am facing a problem when using it in a software expansion, and I can receive only date when the vi has been slown down (using the bulb).

  The program really works on her own with the defined settings.

  So, do you have any ideas/suggestions on how to significantly increase the speed of this vi (joint)? In addition, it seems to create a problem with the playback of data

  Thank you very much

  Roll bytes to the port and the delay.

  Rely on the chariot of the termination

  Use a number larger than the bytes expected.

• VISA READ timeout error - several GPIB resources

  Hello

  I'm working on a network 3 GPIB instruments (Optical Attenuator, amplifier in fiber, spectrum analyser), controlled using VISA sessions in Labview. When it is run separately, the three corresponding screws (which are located in three different Labview projects) works as expected. However, when they ran at the same time, one gives them timeout-1073807339 VISA READ errors. These errors seem to occur when another instrument is sending / receiving data / instructions at the same time that she is.

  The exact context of the error is either:

  -an another VI is running, which includes sending several requests and responses every 100 ms, reading

  -by failing VI starts, I get an error of waiting time among the first Subvi containing a VISA READ operation to perform (sometimes initialize.vi (in situation 1), sometimes one of the subVIs connected the rest State (State 0) on the time-out of the structure of the event).

  or:

  -the default VI is running,

  -by starting another VI, which includes repeatedly sending requests and reading the responses, the failing VI up a mistake among the first Subvi containing a VISA READ operation to run (one of the subVIs linked the State of rest (0) on the time-out of the structure of the event).

  What I tried:

  -gradually increasing the delay between the VISA WRITE and READ operations to the relevant instrument (from 10 ms to 10 s), without success. More surprising are my observations which, by operating this single VI, increasing WRITE it / READ delay results in the same timeout errors. I have found no mention of such behavior through research google and forum. I hope that this may point to a solution to the main issue,

  -switching between synchronous and asynchronous VISA WRITE / READ operations.

  -reorganization of the network GPIB to a star to a linear topology topology (three instruments have different GPIB addresses in case anyone is wondering).

  My thoughts:

  It seems to me that the error is related to a delay introduced between a VISA request and its read operation by the transmission of another query associated another instrument in the same network GPIB. But I have no idea why pass a query to another instrument would introduce such a delay, or why this delay would result in a timeout error (and only an instrument, while writing / reading in each pilot screws are basically the same). Hopefully a more experienced Labview-er will be able to shed some light on my problem.

  Included is the project that contains the default VI (main.vi) and the driver custom made use of.

  There are a number of ways. If you want to keep separate projects for instruments, you can use semaphores often slandered around calls for screws in each project. Locking is not expected or predictable, but it would give controlled access to the GPIB resource.

• VISA read timeout

  I don't know why the function of reading im getting an error of timeout to the VISA (error that says "timeout expired before the operation is over"). I made sure the serial port of Labview and my cameras are serial port configured exactly the same. I even tested hyperterminal with the same port as in labview settings and it works perfectly, but my labview program gives me an error. My device ends each order he sent with a carriage return, then I mounted VISA READ to stop playback of data when he meets the CR character. I also made sure the carriage return was infact sent by my camera. Any thoughts?

  

  

  
  

• difference between VISA READ buffer and chain

  Hello I'm just starting to use the VISA read and write the function in labVIEW

  everyone knows what are the degree between reading VISA and the string buffer? and the comparison of the VISA Write buffer and chain

  Thank you

  Ein salvation,

  "read buffer" is the string given by VISAReadlabel, "write buffer" is the label of the string that is expected by VISAWrite!

  There is no difference...

• VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF0015) Timeout management

  Hi all

  I'm trying to commuincate with a patented device.  In full operation, it is supposed to send keepalive type

  data periodically, the first thing to do is so empty the receive buffer.

  My program is, (attached):

  1. set baud rate to 15200
  2. open communication of VISA.
  3. flush the receive buffer.
  4 write \r\n
  5. wait 100ms
  6. read the bytes to the value of the port
  7. read messages until the number of return is zero.

  The number of bytes to the serial port is 360

  The length of the message table is the following:

  Message 0 item has a string length of 87
  Message 1 item has a string length of 90
  Message 2 has a string length of 90 item
  Message 3 item has a string length of 90
  Message 4 has a string length of 3 item
  Message 5 has a string length of 0 item

  Concatenated string length: 360

  The element error 0a error: no
  The element error 1 error: no
  The element 2A error error: no
  Item 3A error error: no
  The element 4A error error:-1073807339
  The element error 5A error:-1073807339

  I can easily rub on the mistakes, but I was wondering if there is a method that does not generate an error?

  Also, why not make one answer rather than separate 5 responses, which results in an error?

  I mean, I love not waiting, is it better to interview a number of bytes > 0 or x number of Foundation that does not change.

  Is there a method that recommend NOR for this simple query series?

  TIA,
  Sean

  Some VISA basics.

  You have the stop activated with the VISA character set up the Serial Port. Then use the VISA to the Serial Port bytes. Using both is not recommended. VISA playback will end automatically when the stop character is detected. If you have a character of endpoint, you can place some high number for the number of bytes to read. If you have no character endpoint, disable it.

  You do not send a return trolley/line with the \r\n. You send each character separately. In order to send '-' codes, you must enable them. Simply right click on the control of the chain and select '-' code display.

  The warning is expected and normal, whenever playback VISA does not detect a termination character.

  Placing the bytes VISA to the Serial Port outside the loop is just incorrect and using a while loop with the VISA Read is just making it worse. You are guaranteeing a mistake.
