VISA control putting devices into remote mode

So, I drop a VISA control on my fp. What I think is happening is when it populates, it is sending an *IDN? command to all the devices in the measurement and automation explorer. The problem with this is, some of the devices are in local mode, but if they detect something coming in over GPIB, they automatically switch to remote. I haven't tested it, but I have replaced the VISA control with a string control whos proper GPIB value is set from an INI file. I'm assuming this will solve the problem.
However, is it possible to have the VISA control on the fp and populate without it sending these devices into remote mode?

I don't know of any reason why that should happen.  Try running NI-SPY or Portmon before doing this and see if you can capture a *IDN? command going out when it shouldn't be.
K, I'll do that. I guess what I assumed is when it (VISA ctl) populated its self, it went out and tried to find what instruments were actually there in order to know what to put in the VISA control drop down (i.e. GPIB0::1::INST,GPIB0::2::INST, etc). I assumed it may be doing this with an *IDN? command. I'll run the capture and see what's happening. For some reason when I start my program up, it's clearly sending other devices into remote mode by sending them something over GPIB that I'm not controlling. I know this because if I highlight execution, my code is in the idle state when these devices somehow get switched.
Hopefully NI-Spy will show me something.

  • HT1212 I have an iphone 3 which has been disabled, I've put it into recovery mode but itunes won't connect to it. I know the password but the device wn't give me the option to add it. What else can I do to enable the device. I can't wipe it from the cloud

    I have an iphone 3G which has been disabled after a child tried to get into it. Itunes will not connect until I have put the passcode in but the device will only enable emergency calls and does not allow a passcode to be put in. I have put it into recovery mode and itunes can't see it. There is currently no SIM card in it and it's not connectng to the wifi so I can't wipe it from the cloud. Any ideas how I can get into it?

    iPhones require a SIM for activation.
    Put the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore via iTunes.

  • My iPhone 4 will NOT show up on iTunes, not even by putting it into recovery mode. Can anyone help me fix this problem? I would like to use iTunes with it.

    I got an iPhone 4 on Thursday.
    I connected it to my PC, a Windows Vista, that day and nothing showed up besides a "camera."
    My computer picked it up as a camera, which I understand is a common occurence in the iPhone.
    After browsing countless youtube videos and Apple Forum Questions, nothing helped.
    I put it into recovery mode by holding on the power and menu button, but when I opened iTunes it still didn't detect anything.
    I feel like I'm almost hurting my iPhone because I turned it off and on so many times, and plugged it in and out several times, and so forth.
    Here is what happened after putting it into recovery mode: 1. A Windows "device locator" popped up. 2. It was looking for a solution to help me with the unknown device, or iPhone. 3. I clicked onto the find solution button, and it told me that I needed a disc.
    --- I didn't have a disc, so I looked up this problem and it told me to manually find Apple mobile device support on my driver, so I did.---
    4. I then went onto Control Panel and clicked on SYSTEM and MAINTENANCE and went to DEVICE MANAGER.
    5. There I found my iPhone listed under USB controllers.
    6. I uninstalled and installed it several times.
    7. I then manually found a program to ease the problem. The program was "apple mobile device support," which was located on my apple driver.
    8. Nothing happened, besides it reporting to me that Apple USB was found and that "code 39" or "code 1" was in the way.
    9. I didn't know what to do with this....
    By this time, I was about to give up on my iPhone and return it back to the store.
    I tried again, but in a different way this time.
    1. I put it back into recovery mode and I opened itunes.
    2. itunes reported to me that some burning or CD/Drive software was missing and that I needed to reinstall it.
    3. SO, I reinstalled it several times, about 12 (iTunes), and nothing changed.
    4. I then looked up the problem of why the CD/Drive software problem kept popping up.
    5. I fixed it by going to my registry and adding an UpperFilter with the code GEARaspi...something like that.
    6. The problem was fixed, but still no iPhone onto my itunes.
    I stayed up all night last night to fix this problem...I'm annoyed and tired.
    I tried another problem to fix this.
    1. I didn't put it into recovery mode.
    2. My iPhone showed up under portable devices under "device manager," from SYS/MAIN"
    3. I did update software.
    4. I clicked on "apple mobile device support" but nothing happened.
    5. It reported to me of the Code thing again.
    I even called the Apple people and they didn't know what to do, so I stopped calling them...because they only had limited options to fix the problem.
    Can anyone help me?

    There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
    Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

    In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

    See Here  >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    You may need to try this More than Once...
    Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
    But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.

  • Anyone have a syggestion on how to get my Ipod touch working again besides putting it into restore mode

    Anyone have any ideas on how to get an Ipod touch to charge or sync without putting it into restore mode, I've prettymuch tried everything thats been put online so far

    Tried DFU mode?
    To do this follow these instructions:
        1. First, Open up iTunes, plug in your iPod Touch/iPhone to the Computer's USB port. Turn on your Computer's speaker and make sure it is loud enough that you can hear it.
        2. Hold down the Home button (top left for iPod Touch and top right for the iPhone with the screen facing you) and the Power button (located on the front bottom of your iPod Touch/iPhone) simutaneously, until the screen goes black and the device turns off. (past the red slider/slide to power off screen)
        3. Now let go of the Power button, but continue to hold the Home button. Your iPod Touch/iPhone should have turned off and the screen should not be on.
        4. After around ~10-20 seconds, you will hear a noise (beep/ding) from your Computer as if it had just recognized a new hardware device, now iTunes should recognize it in DFU mode.
        5. After iTunes recognizes the iPod Touch/iPhone, let go of the Home button otherwise it will go into recovery mode and you will have to do the entire DFU process over again.
        6. You will know when you have put your iPod Touch/iPhone correctly into DFU mode when the display is blank and that you do not have anything on your device.
    Once you have done this click restore and iTunes sould start to dowbnload and install the latest firmware.
    #Please note this will reset your iDevice to factory settings

    Thanks Chris   The phone has been great until this morning.  When using the camera it seemed to shut down, then it was just looping the restart, and finally into recovery   It never rains but pours   Thanks anyway
    BTW, the phone has never been jailbroken or anything.  Stock standard

  • My 12" powerbook logics card crashed. I have a 17". How do i retrieve my internet bookmarks from the 12" by putting it into Target mode on the 12" and looking into the hard drive on the 12"?

    My 12" powerbook logics card crashed. I have a 17". How do I retrieve my internet bookmarks from the 12" by putting it into Target mode on the 12" and looking into the hard drive on the 12"? Where on the 12" hard drive do I go to search for them?

    If the 12's logic board is trashed, I don't think you can get into FireWire Target Disk Mode. The computer has to start to get to FWTDM. Will it starte and run at all?
    If it won;t start, you will have to go inside and extract the hard drive. Then get this gadget:
    Newer Technology Universal Drive Adapter USB 3.0/2.0 - connects any 2.5", 3.5" or 5.25" drive
    It allows you to connect a bare drive to another computer that has USB. It will act just like an external disk drive. Assuming the 12's drive is not damaged due to the LB failure, you can retrieve files quickly.

  • My computer refuses my new iphone 5 and has put it into recovery mode and my computer wont accept hardware download

  • Iphone will not respond after trying to put it into DFU mode while in recovery mode.

    I tried to restore my iphone 4 and recieved error 21 in itunes, while in recovery mode I tried to put it into DFU mode and then it turned off and wont turn back on or be recognized by itunes or pc. I tried doing a hard reset and no luck. HELP PLEASE!!!!!

    That does happen.  It depends on how hard the server is being hit, as well as the connection speed of your system.  If you are on a windows system, you will want to disable any antivirus or firewall software during the download.

  • Imac keeps putting itself into Sleep Mode.

    This morning my Imac has put itself into sleep mode twice within an hour - losing everything I was working on. It just goes black and then loads the log in screen.
    I've never had this issue before, it's not over heating (not sure if that could be a problem) it's not full up, it's not lagging it's just this problem.
    I really cannot afford the time to take my Imac into the store for repair unless ofcourse it's really needed. Can someone help please?
    Thank you,

    Hi Tori,
    Unfortunately I'm unable to help, but I want to add that I had exactly the same problem this morning (Jan 13, 2013)! It was putting itself into sleep mode twice within 5 minutes.
    In contrast to TorkiClarkson, the fan of my iMac was blowing hard, but that happened a lot the last months without falling into sleep mode. Actually I'm a bit afraid I've got a heating problem since my warranty of 1 year has experienced..
    Hope someone has valuable information for TorkiClarkson and me.
    Thanks.

    Try a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
