Troubleshooting Information

Checking Instruments

Checking RS-232 Instruments

If you cannot establish communication with a connected RS-232 instrument,
see the following table for suggested troubleshooting steps.

Possible Cause(s)

Corrective Action(s)

Attempting to Communicate From the E5810 Web Access

Intermittent or missing RS-232
connection

Check RS-232 cable connections.
Verify that the RS-232 cable is the
correct cable for this application.

RS-232 device power not ON or
defective RS-232 device

Make sure RS-232 device power is
ON and the device is operating
properly.

RS-232 interface not configured for
attached device

Change E5810 RS-232 interface
attributes to match RS-232 device
attributes (baud rate, parity, etc.).

Attempting to Communicate Programatically

VISA/SICL not configured

Run the IO Config Utility (see

Chapter 2 - Installing the E5810

Incorrect VISA/SICL address

Check VISA/SICL address being
used.
