ECAP (11)
ECAP results when your GPIB board lacks the ability to carry out an operation or when a
particular capability has been disabled in the software and a call is made that requires the
capability.
Solutions
Check the validity of the call, or make sure your GPIB interface board and the driver both
have the needed capability.
EFSO (12)
EFSO results when an
ibrdf
or
ibwrtf
call encounters a problem performing a file
operation. Specifically, this error indicates that the function is unable to open, create,
seek, write, or close the file being accessed. The specific Windows NT error code for
this condition is contained in
ibcnt
.
Solutions
•
Make sure the filename, path, and drive that you specified are correct.
•
Make sure that the access mode of the file is correct.
•
Make sure there is enough room on the disk to hold the file.
EBUS (14)
EBUS results when certain GPIB bus errors occur during device functions. All device
functions send command bytes to perform addressing and other bus management.
Devices are expected to accept these command bytes within the time limit specified by
the default configuration or the
ibtmo
function. EBUS results if a timeout occurred
while sending these command bytes.
