GPIB Troubleshooting

Problem

Probable Cause

Solution

Unable to communicate

with CD/PMD Analyzer

Source (no response from

*IDN? command).

Incorrect

communication type

selected.

Select the correct

communication type: RS-232 or

GPIB.

Incorrect

communication

parameters.

Check the communication

parameters: bus address, baud

rate, flow control, etc., as

required.

Incorrect termination

characters.

Synchronize termination

characters between the GPIB

controller and the SCPI manager.

Poor bus connection.

Ensure the functionning of the

controller card and make sure

that the bus cable is properly

connected.

Improper configuration. Verify that the GPIB interface is

properly configured.

Receive “Undefined

header” error.

Incorrect command

syntax.

Verify and correct syntax.

Unstable communication.

Incorrect termination

character.

Synchronize termination

characters between the GPIB

controller and the SCPI manager.
