SICL Timeout
Set to 0 (infinite)
The E5810 uses the LAN maximum timeout configured in Connection
Expert’s LAN interface for its default or infinite timeout. If a SICL
itimeout(id,0) command is used (where a 0 timeout value is an infinite
timeout) the E5810 will use the
I/O Timeout (sec): value set on the Current
Configuration of E5810 LAN/GPIB Gateway
page. The default timeout value is
120 sec. Setting the
I/O Timeout (sec): value to 0 enables infinite timeouts
from SICL applications.
Setting long timeouts with the E5810 is discouraged. 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 recommended you
not set an infinite timeout which can cause
the E5810 to become unresponsive due to a pending operation that will
never timeout.
