Hello everyone,
I'm doing an internship and got called to repair a broken stepping motor drive, which controls different covers for a luminous measurement.
After fixing this problem I run the LabView program to test the whole functionality and the program stopped before it got to the motor control part.
My laptop doesn't have an serial port and on the measurement PC is only LabView RT + it isn't connected to any network, so I don't know any possibility to debug it. Of course they said, everything ran fine before the motor problem.
After implementing Error Handler in the Code I got the error -1073807339 VISA read timeout (Hex0xBFFF0015).
It occurs when it tries to read the measurement data from an National Light Research Radiometer ILT 1700, here is the code.
I'm new to VISA programming but for me everything seems to be right (baud rate, data bits etc.), but here is the manual for the ILT1700. So I just increased the timeout to 30 sec. Of course, it doesn't solve the Error.
So here is my Question: How can narrow down the problem? Is it the Radiometer, the PC with the LV Code or event the Cable which connects both?
Regards,
Lucas
