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.

  • 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.

    I try to open a com port Seraglio in LabVIEW get this error:

    It occurs in ISA set up a Serial Port (Instr) .vi and seems to be related to the speed of transmission. If I use anything else than 9600, I get this warning. I need to use 115200. I can open successfully to other com ports at 115200.

    I am able to talk to this device using other Terminal programs to 115200 without problem. It is only through LabVIEW and NI MAX.

    The Unit presents itself as "Stellaris Virtual Serial Port (COM12)" in deveice Manager.

    Is there a way to get around this?

  • VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF003A) using a RS232 USB converter

    Hi, I'm reading a pH meter and it is connected to my computer by USB using a USB RS232 converter. NOR-MAX recognizes the instrument, but when I try to play the instrument in the testpanel I timeout error. When I read the status byte, it gave me the following error VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF003A) cannot start the operation because the installer is not valid (because of attributes defined in an inconsistent state). I looked in the attributes and saw the following error VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF001D) the specified attribute is not defined or supported by the resource referenced. the pH meter is a unit of office of simpel with the following characteristics: baud rate 9600 8 data bits years 1 stop only bit no control flow or parity.

    Why try to read the status byte? It is not an instrument based GPIB is?

    What attribute? I asked in your original post to attach a screenshot of MAX. Why should someone have to guess? I suspect this attribute doesn't apply to serial devices OR and is not relevant to try to read the status byte.

    Check if you are using the right type of cable and check to see if you add the correct end character. You also do not mention if you write what whether in port or just do a reading. You mention also the seller or the model number of the meter.

  • VISA (Hex 0xBFFF001E) error the specified state, the attribute is not valid or is not supported as defined by the resource.

    Hello

    First of all that I must say I just starting with control of the instrument using Labview. For this reason, it is possible that the problem I have is easy to solve. However, I am looking for any solution for the forum, but unfortunately I can't fint anything.

    While the situation is this: I'm looking to plug a power Analyzer (Yokogawa WT1800) with the PC through GPIB. To achieve this, I use the USB/GPIB Interface of Agilent 82357 B. The connection is done correctly because I can see and communicate with him through the Explorer NI MAX.

    In order to achieve control of the instrument using Labview, I downloaded and installed the driver of Yokogawa WT1800 (Driver instruments ykt1800) using the NI Instrument Driver Finder tool. The problem I have is that when I run the examples, I find the following error message:

    Error 1073807330 has occurred to the property (arg1) node in Yokogawa WT1800 Series.lvlib: Initialize.vi-> Yokogawa WT1800 series continuous measurement Normal.vi

    Possible reasons:

    VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF001E) the State specified, the attribute is not valid or is not taken in charge as defined by the resource.

    I tried to change the input of the open Visa arguments vi because I think that this is where is the problem, but I can't reach any solution. The following image is attached to the block diagram of the initialize.vi:

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you.

    I suspect the redirect property. Try to remove it.

  • How to hit continue automatically when error VISA: (Hex 0xBFFF0016) presents itself?

    Hi all

    I am an experience which interacts with a frequency Agilent generator automatically vary the frequency and read data with a detector, this program works perfectly when I sweep the frequency to great not, so I leave long experiments to do night when I get home, but the next day there is an error that says:

    VISA: VISA (Hex 0xBFFF0016) driver failed to properly close the reference object or session. This could be due to a mistake releasing internal or operating system resources, a network connection has failed, or a lower level driver or OS.

    and give me the chance to continue or stop, if I press on continue, the program keeps works well but sometimes I can't be all the time to be press continues. It is an easy way to cancel this error or say automatically continue if this happens?

    For the nuclear option, you could use the errors clear vi in range of dialogue & User Interface. This is not good. It is best to clear the error only if it's a cause you trouble. But just blindly compensation of errors is as close my eyes and pretend that all is well. It is sometimes.

    I have a serial device that sometimes gives errors, but if I try it will work again. I've created a code to erase and start over up to a defined number of times then give up and returns the following error.

It stops after around one and a half hours of operation - aroun d 800 times talking to the camera.

    On some website, it is mentioned that the fast PC with slow device leading. Some suggested that the rate - I don't know how to change the rate.

    Any suggestion to solve?

    It is resolved. I have remove the tower off before together and turn on after the process and separated from the command in its individual loop instead of the setting once in the inner loop.

  • Keithley 2601 - VISA READ 0xBFFF0015 (VI_ERROR_TMO)

    Dear people,

    I hope you can help me with this problem which has been haunting me for days. Please excuse me if it's a rookie mistake, as I have no experience with LabVIEW.

    I'm trying to control a 2601 Keithley uses LabVIEW drivers provided by the manufacturer (http://www.tek.com/source-measure-units/2635-software/keithley-series-2600-2600a-2600b-native-labvie...).

    The connector I use is a NI GPIB/USB and communication seems to work well with interactive control of NI-VISA, writing and reading the output of "* IDN? "\n" perfectly:

    1: write operation (* IDN? \n)

    Back County: 6 bytes

    2: read operation
    Back County: 54 bytes
    Keithley\sInstruments\sInc.,\sModel\s2601,\s1078308,\S1.1.1\n

    When you try to run the example 'KE26XX factory Pulse Usage.vi' However, after having managed the initialization of the device and to write a series of settings, it still shows error 0xBFFF0015 (VI_ERROR_TMO) in the CITATION READ in 'Config Pulse V measure I.vi':

    I had that before with a serial cable, so I changed the thought of GPIB/USB it re-establishes a possible problem of TermChar. Does not work, the error is still the same. I tried to add a wait function with up to 5 after the WRITE VISA, without success. Tried to increase the number of bytes to READ VISA, without success. Tried to manually add "\n" to the string of Scripture, without success.

    Using Windows 7 Enterprise, LabVIEW 2014 SP1 f3, NI-VISA 15.5, OR-488. 2 15.5.

    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Diego

    It looks like to, this is caused by something else. The other cause of VISA time-out for a tester is usuaully when you call a VI to do certain things which need more steps to take before calling them. For example, you may need to call one another VI Keithly to initialize the device and then put it in a certain mode, configure something using an another VI then call the Subvi. If you do not follow such a sequence, you can ask something that the instrument is not able to do and so he will not respond and will trigger a timeout. To do this, you will need to consult the manual of the instrument, Keithly examples or try to contact their support.

  • Error 1073807253 occurred at VISA read transitional SR830.vi visa: (Hex 0xBFFF006B) a framing error occurred during the transfer.

    Hello

    I wrote a program with labview transitional make measurement of c - v using a stanford amplifier research SR830 detent. The program seems to be runing fine, but sometimes it is givvibg an error:

    #

    You said when you look at the reading string-mode, it sends a \r which is a carriage return (decimal 13, hexadecimal 0d) instead of a \n which is a linefeed (decimal 10, hexadecimal 0a).

    But you did not set your intialize void VI to thread a hex set up 0d in the character of the VISA entry.  You have activated with a real ending, but nothing is wired at the entrance of character which means that it is still using the default value of hex 0A.

    That is why you are still getting the stop in the middle of reading character and timeouts if you ask too many bytes, it takes a lot of time to get X number of bytes, and he's never read the stop character you designate.

    In addition, you must have the VISA close the loop.

  • VISA general parameters: Timeout Value vs Async lock timeout

    I think I found a bug in my code caused by a misunderstanding, I want to double check. In general, I set a timeout of the VISA (GPIB) using the property node ' General Settings: Timeout Value. Due to the multitude of GPIB communications that I do, I always wrap by read and write code in the async VISA locks. My previous assumed that the timeout from the setting in the property node would transfer on and be used by the node of VISA async timeout.

    In the screenshot below, "5000" is attached to the lock VISA async timeout value. If I were to delete, the time-out for the lock of async VISA would be '0' (the 'default' vi for) or '500' (as defined in the node property)?

    Thank you!

    Hi tkott,

    The value of VISA timeout property node sets the minimum for any VISA request timeout, while Timeout entry VISA Lock Async.vi specifies the maximum number of waiting to ask this lock.  The minimum expectation of property node (which by default two seconds) should take precedence when it is longer than the time-out of the VI entry, otherwise entry timeout value will define the duration of the time-out period.

    To answer your question, the node property will usually define your timeout, unless wire you a higher value of the lock of VI.  Is this the behavior you're seeing?

  • Activation of NI-Visa - save the conflict Manager settings

    Hello!

    I have a few problems with the activation of NI-VISA 5.2 in NI MAX (see screenshot in attachment).

    I'm usng Labview 2009 and Win7. I guess that you will need a lot more information on my system.

    It seems the Message that prompted, it could be related to some kind of permission while saving the settings, but this problem has not risen in other areas of NIMAX.

    Initially, Agilent Visa was installed with NI-VISA 5.2 and the old one has been activated in the conflict Manager.

    After that, I installed NI 2 488 3.1.1 drivers and when later I had to activate NI-VISA, I ran across this problem.

    (I don't know if, before the installation of NI488 that I could move to NI-VISA, I didn't try right there)

    I uninstalled Agilent Visa, I installed NI-VISA 5.3, repaired, 5.3 uninstalled, reinstalled 5.2 but I am always faced with the same command prompt.

    Thanks for any help!
