[Linux-gpib-general] Agilent 82357B Timeout error 14

[Evan F. <eva...@gm...>]

Hi GPIB-List,

I am trying to use an Agilent 82357B which I believe is a clone.
After using fxload to push the firmware to the device I have this in my lsusb
Bus 001 Device 009: ID 0957:0718 Agilent Technologies, Inc.

The following is my /etc/gpib.conf
interface {
    minor = 0
    pad = 0
    board_type = "agilent_82357a"
    name = "violet"
    timeout = T100s
    master = yes
}

device {
    minor = 0
    pad = 10
    name = "HP3325B1"
    sad = 0
}

gpib_config runs cleanly but ibtest is problematic. I can talk to the adapter
sudo ibtest
Do you wish to open a (d)evice or an interface (b)oard?
    (you probably want to open a device): b
enter name of interface board (or device) you wish to open: violet
trying to open board named 'violet'
You can:
    w(a)it for an event
    write (c)ommand bytes to bus (system controller only)
    send (d)evice clear (device only)
    change remote (e)nable line (system controller only)
    (g)o to standby (release ATN line, system controller only)
    send (i)nterface clear (system controller only)
    ta(k)e control (assert ATN line, system controller only)
    get bus (l)ine status (board only)
    go to local (m)ode
    change end (o)f transmission configuration
    (q)uit
    (r)ead string
    perform (s)erial poll (device only)
    change (t)imeout on io operations
    request ser(v)ice (board only)
    (w)rite data string
    send group e(x)ecute trigger (device only)
: l
DAV off
NDAC off
NRFD off
IFC off
REN on
SRQ off
ATN off
EOI off
gpib status is:
ibsta = 0x120  < CMPL CIC >
iberr= 0

ibcntl = 0

but when I try to talk to the devices, any of them (I have tried
others) this is what happens.
ibtest
Do you wish to open a (d)evice or an interface (b)oard?
    (you probably want to open a device): d
enter primary gpib address for device you wish to open [0-30]: 10

    send group e(x)ecute trigger (device only)
: w
enter a string to send to your device: DISP OFF
sending string: DISP OFF

gpib status is:
ibsta = 0xc100  < ERR TIMO CMPL >
iberr= 14
EBUS 14: Bus error

Would one of you please explain to me what I am doing wrong here?

Thanks,
Evan
