GPIB-232CT User Manual
EABO S

The GPIB-232CT records this error when I/O has been
cancelled. By far the most common cause of this error is
a timeout condition.
To remedy a timeout error, if I/O is actually progressing
but times out anyway, lengthen the timeout period with
tmo
. More frequently, however, the I/O is stuck (the
Listener is not continuing to handshake or the Talker has
stopped talking), or the byte count in the call that timed
out was more than the other device was expecting. Be
sure that both parties to the transfer understand what byte
count is expected; or if possible, have the Talker use the
END message to assist in early termination.
ECAP S/G
11
The GPIB-232CT records this error when your
programming message contains an S mode function and
the GPIB-232CT is configured for G mode, or your
programming message contains a G mode function and
the GPIB-232CT is configured for S mode.
ECMD S/G
17
The GPIB-232CT records this error when your
programming message received by the GPIB-232CT does
not contain a recognizable function name. This can
happen if the function name is misspelled or if a
transmission error occurred that resulted in the function
name being corrupted. Check your function name
spelling, and check
serial-error
to see if a serial
port error has been posted.
