Hi, I am trying to get the data out of an instrument through its GPIB port and using python code. I am able to perfectly control the operation of the instrument with my code. But I have not figured out a way as yet to get the data of the GPIB. I thin that it will go through 2 steps: 1) instrument transfers data to its output buffer 2) Read from the output buffer.
When i try read() command it gives me an IO timeout error. Any suggestions? Thanx in advance. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
