Symptom Possible Fault/Correction
GPIB communication errors Check the GPIB address, the GPIB cable
connections, and the string termination
character.
A program does not compile For example:
in the QuickBASIC environment National Instruments IBCONF file had
some other device name for DEV4 or the
IBCONF file was not configured properly
for the 1830-C.
The QBIB.OBJ file was not compiled and
linked with the QuickBASIC environ-
ment. To accomplish this step, follow
the National Instruments manual com-
mands:
C:\QB45>link /q qbib.obj, qbib.qlb,,
bqlb45.lib
C:\QB45>qb /l qbib.qlb
The pathname for the QBDECL.BAS
should be modified per the user’s
computer system.
Your IEEE application software Use the National Instruments IBIC
program
program does not seem to be to communicate with the 1830-C. Typi-
cal
communicating with the 1830-C. sequence of operation would be as
follows:
C:\>ibic
IBFIND dev4
IBWRT “d?\n”
IBRD 20

7.2 Cleaning Procedure
When cleaning the body of this instrument, use only a mild soap and water
solution on a damp cloth.
CAUTION
Do not use acetone or other organic solvents on the 1830-C. Organic
solvents attack the ABS plastic case.
