[HELP] Agilent 53220A Counter Timer Will Not Initialise Using NI VI's!

I am running National Instruments 2012 Development Suite.
I have hooked up an Agilent 53220A to a PXI chassis via USB and MAX can see it.
If I use the D:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2012\instr.lib\Agilent 532XX Series\Public\Initialize.vi library to initialise it, it takes ages before finally timing out.  I opened all the VI and issued the commands manually using the Measurement and Automation Explorer as follows:
*IDN?\n = Returned the details of the Counter Timer.
*RST\n = Returned no errors.
*ESE 60;\n = Returned no errors.
*SRE 48;\n = Returned no errors.
*CLS;\n = Returned no errors.
: SYST:ERR?\n = The subsequent read then times out!   (delete space between ":" and "S")...
If I repeat the above but skip the "*SRE 48;" command it then works.
Any ideas why my Agilent 53220A Counter Timer does not like the "*SRE 48;" command?
Thanks.

I have confirmed this morning that I have installed the drivers and library for LabVIEW 2012 version from the NI website.
Any ideas anyone?

    I have the exact same problem. I have not changed anything. This is probably a bug or something that has gone bad with Mac OS X (10.7.2). I have not found any solution for this on the web.

    Help.

    Then the next step would be to restore your phone.  My advice is that prior to restoring you import your photos and videos to your computer and back up your contacts (by syncing them with iCloud or to a supported program on your computer using iTunes) as a number of users report losing these when restoring their device.

  • Help....my daughter has an ipod, iphone and ipad and face time will not work

    My daughter has an iphone, ipod and we have a family ipad. for some reason face time will not work. it rings in but the connection is never made. I even had her phone into verizon and they couldn't figure out why facetime wouldn't work. Anyone have any ideas on how we can correct this. It cannot be her phone because it's doing the same thing on her ipod, I cannot get facetime even to call out on our ipad. My oldest daughter has the iphone and a MAC in the same household and hers are working?

    Alot of people are having problems with FaceTime.
    Are you're devices updated?

  • Pages app unexpectedly quit whilst I was in the middle of a document. I can now not open it AT ALL. I find it's not just that particular document that won't open, but any of my Pages docs will not open using the current version of Pages. Any help?

    Pages app unexpectedly quit whilst I was in the middle of a document. I can now not open it AT ALL. I find it's not just that particular document that won't open, but any of my Pages docs will not open using the current version of Pages. The reports of the app unexpectedly closing each time, automatically went to Apple, but I am not sure what happens with them then. Does anyone know how to help me with this? We live in a very isolated region so rely on internet help. Thanks

    I also managed to read a few other discussions about Pages and files not being able to open. I actually went to the last back-up and restored the computer from that and everything seemed to work ok again, which is great!...advice from another discussion I think you may have been involved in PeterB. Thanks for the advice...also this advice, as I will make a note of trying to open using the Shift key if it happens again and see what happens...might be an easier first option than restoring from a back-up. Thans heaps for the help!
    I was interested to read some of the other discussions where it was stated that Pages '09 seems to be a better option to use. I have both installed, so I will lkeep this in mind. Thanks heaps!

    Having problem with  Notes at time will not record dictation on iPhone?

    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    If that doesn't help have your phone examined by an apple technician. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

    When I create a reminder the date/time will not stay attached to the reminder. It initially sets then drops off. Any ideas?

    Sounds like we have a similar problem.  Four days ago I was playing music through a wireless Bose speaker via bluetooth and everything was fine.  Then I was texting while listening and got 2 texts about the same time as I was typing one and my phone went black.  I pushed the home button and it worked, went into my texts and all were there.  However ever since then the time isn't right, so it can't keep time no matter what I do.  The bluetooth works only at times, the wifi keeps jumping on and off, sometimes my data won't work and the other day I couldn't even turn it off, so had to wait until it died.  The battery life display at that moment wasn't correct either.  Took to Verizon, they couldn't help.  Suggested a factory reset, which I did last night and still the same issues!  One day I couldn't even text my husband on his iPhone.  Just wouldn't work at all.  Did everything suggest and still not good.  Seems like after stalking these pages today a lot of people are having this problem in Dec/Jan and of course also I'm 3 weeks out of my 1 year warranty and so were many others, by days.  Very strange, and all on the 5C.  What did you do?  Is it working now?

  • After 7.1.1 update my iphone5c time will not change if my phone is locked.

    I recently updated my iphone5c to 7.1.1. I then realized that my time will not change if my phone is locked. For example, if my phone clock says 2:00, the time will continue if I am using my phone. Say I use my phone until it is 2:30 and then lock my phone. It will still be at 2:30 when I use my phone again.I have turned it off and back on. I have restored it. I have turned it off of the "automatic" time zone and manually set my time. Nothing works. I don't know what else to do. Please help

  • HT3523 I have done all my updates & my quick time will not play this new project, what is the problem?

    My computer is updated but my quick time will not play a mov. file that i exported from final cut on a different Mac , what is the problem?

    Final Cut adds some codecs that are not part of normal OS X.  If your movie uses one of these codecs it won't play on a system that does not have Final Cut.
    Adding these codecs may help:

    I have an Apple Air Book and I am very satisfied with it except there are video that I cannot see.  The reason is that Quick Time will not support the video.  What can I do to be able to get these videos?  I have all ready download Adobe Flash Player and installed it but it has not effect.

    Get Flip4Mac (for Windows Media videos):

    And Perian for everything else:

    You should be able to play most videos with QuickTime player once both are installed.

    face time will not let me sign in with my new password?

    Same thing for me.  I'm getting an error message that states "The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later."  I've been trying for the last two hours, off and on, and keep getting the message.  I've re-started FaceTime as well as re-strated my MacBook.  This is just after changing my AppleID password - both iTunes and my Apple account are fine with signing in using the new password.

    My iPad4 will not charge using the cable supplied by Apple using AC current or the computer. Help!

    Here are some things to check when there is a problem charging the iPad. First use the charger that came with the iPad and connect that to a wall outlet.
    1. No power in the outlet.
    2. Bad charger. Try a different charger.
    3. Bad cable. Try a different cable.
    4. Dirt, lint or fuzz in the charging ports. Check and carefully clean with a toothpick if necessary.
    5. Software glitch. First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    6. Hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.
