Timeout Errors Timeout errors such as “Device Timeout,” “File
Timeout,” and “Operation Timeout,” are symptoms of one or both of
the following problems:
— The currently configured timeout limits are too short compared to
the time it takes the LAN to complete some operations. This
problem may occur during periods of increased LAN traffic.
— The LAN connection has failed, or fails occasionally.
To increase your timeout period, refer to your computer
documentation for instructions. Contact your LAN administrator if
problems continue.
Packets Routinely Lost If packets are routinely lost, proceed to the
troubleshooting section in this chapter relating to your network.
Problems Transferring or Copying Files If you have problems
copying files out of or into the instrument, you might be experiencing
timeout problems. See the previous section on “Timeout Errors.”
