8.4 Notes of the GP-IB
────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Symptom Cause/Treatment
The GP-IB has stopped working
completely.
Are the cables properly connected?
Is the device address for the 3560 set correctly?
Do some other devices have the same GP-IB address?
Are all the devices powered on?
After transmission on the GP-IB bus,
the keys on the 3560 freeze up and
have no effect.
Press the LOCK key on the 3560 to release the remote
state.
Has a LLO (Local Lock Out) command been transmitted?
Transmit a GTL (Go To Local) command to put the 3560
into the local state.
When attempting to read data using a
Basic INPUT@ statement, the GP-IB
bus hangs.
Be sure to transmit one query before each INPUT@
(ENTER) statement.
Have any of these transmitted queries resulted in an
error?
Although a command has been
transmitted, nothing has happened.
Using *ESR? command, inspect the contents of the
standard event status register, and check what type of
error has occurred.
Sending several queries, produce only
one response.
Has an error occurred?
Read the response whenever transmitting each query.
When you want to read them in all at once, try putting
them all on one line using the message separator.
Have *IDN? query been used?
The service requests are not
generated sometimes.
Have the service request enable register and the standard
event status enable register been set correctly?
Clear the standard event register at the end of RQS
processing subroutines with *CLS command. Unless the
bit of the event has been cleared once, no service request
would have generated in the same event.
The response message to a query
differs from the display of the 3560.
The response message is produced at the instant that the
3560 receives the query, and there is a possibility that it
may not agree with the display.
