When you want to control a different instrument, issue another ++addr command with the new address. See User Manual for complete details and samples.

21. Why is the instrument not responding to commands?

    Some common reasons are:
    • Wrong serial port is being used.
    • Prologix GPIB-USB controller is not in CONTROLLER mode.
    • Prologix GPIB-USB controller does not have the correct instrument GPIB address.
    • Read-after-write may not be enabled. See User Manual.
    • Instrument is not in TALK/LISTEN mode. Check instrument front panel menu, or back side DIP switch.
    • Prologix GPIB-USB controller is not securely connected to instrument. Try using a GPIB cable, if direct connection is not secure.
    • Other instruments on the GPIB bus may be interfering. Disconnect (not just power down) all instruments except the one being used.
    • Command is not recognized by the instrument. Check instrument programming manual.

22. Why is the instrument reporting QUERY UNTERMINATED or ERROR -420 error when using Prologix GPIB-USB controller?

    After sending a command to an attached instrument, Prologix GPIB-USB controller will address it to talk to read back the response. If the command does not generate a response (often called non-query commands), some instruments will generate the QUERY UNTERMINATED error when addressed to talk. In effect the instrument is saying, you have asked me to talk but I have nothing to say. The error is often benign and may be ignored.

    However, if you wish to avoid the error use the ++read command to read instrument responses. For example:

    ++auto 0	—	Turn off read-after-write
    SET VOLT 1.0	—	Non-query command
    *idn?	—	Query command
    ++read eoi	—	Read until EOI is asserted by instrument
    'HP54201A'	—	Response from instrument

    See User Manual for complete details.
