Is the measurement value automatic output function
enabled?
When the measurement value automatic out-
put function is enabled, a send error occurs on
the measuring instrument side if the receive
operation is not performed on the PC side, and
a send error sound is emitted continuously
when, for example, there is an internal trigger.
Perform the receive operation on the PC side
and then perform measurement on the mea-
suring instrument side, or disable the measure-
ment value automatic output function.
