EBUS Error Code

EBUS results when certain GPIB bus errors occur during device calls. All device calls send command bytes to perform addressing and other bus management. Devices are expected to accept these command bytes within the time limit specified by the default configuration or the IbcTMO option for ibconfig. EBUS results if a timeout occurred while sending these command bytes.

Solutions

Verify that the instrument is operating correctly.

Check for loose or faulty cabling or several powered-off instruments on the GPIB.

If the timeout period is too short for the driver to send command bytes, increase the timeout period.
