Hi,
I'm using PyUSB along with usblib1 and python-usbtmc, and I am getting this
strange error every time I attempt to do anything with an instantiated
"Instrument" object from python-usbtmc with a particular USB device. Other
USB devices work fine with these same Python libraries. What is going on
here? It seems like "None" should never be a valid error number (should
actually be a real number). Any thoughts on what to look for or where to
go next? I'm a realtive newbie to Python debugging, so any pointers to
good debugging practices would be appreciated also.
I am running Mac OS X El Capitan (10.11.6).
Some details of what I am doing:
import usbtmc
hdo = usbtmc.Instrument(0x05FF,0x1023)
hdo.ask('*IDN?')
results in:
USBError: [Errno None] Other error
This exact same sequence (with different USB VID and PID) works with other
gear.
The traceback shows that the lowest level function in usbtmc that causes
this error is "clear()". In other words, this produces the same error:
import usbtmc
hdo = usbtmc.Instrument(0x05FF,0x1023)
hdo.clear()
Any ideas? I may start experimenting with different backends to see if
that yields anything interesting.
Here are some details of my setup:

Here is the traceback from iPython at the exception (I will provide the
