Troubleshooting the E5810B 4
Checking the Network
SICL timeout is set to 0 (infinite)
The E5810B uses the LAN maximum timeout configured in
Keysight Connection Expert’s LAN interface for its default or
infinite timeout. If an SICL itimeout(id,0) command is
used (where a 0 timeout value is an infinite timeout) the
E5810B will use the I/O Timeout (sec): value set on the
Current Configuration of E5810B LAN/GPIB/USB Gateway
page.
The default timeout value is 120 seconds. Setting the I/O
Timeout (sec): value to 0 enables infinite timeouts from SICL
applications.
Setting long timeouts with the E5810B is not recommended.
However, if a long timeout period is required for your
application, you can set the timeout with these commands:
VISA: viSetAttribute(vi, attr, attrState) where:
attr is VI_ATTR_TMO_VALUE attrState is a large
value
SICL: itimeout(id,tval), where tval is a large
number
NOTE
It is highly not recommended to set an infinite timeout which can cause
the E5810B to become unresponsive due to a pending operation that will
never timeout.
