Re: Keithley device reading failure

Hi Feng,

Can you send the link to that project on Github?

I see that it is using asyn, so you should be able to enable asynTrace on the low-level driver and see the communication between EPICS and the device.  Right now it looks like EPICS is sending messages but getting no response.

The datasheet says the 6845 supports both RS-232 and GPIB.  Which are you using?  With RS-232 there are lots of things that can go wrong, from the cable to the parity, data bits, stop bits, etc.

Hi all,

I'm using the Keithley648x project from GitHub to read data from my Keithley 6485 device. However, I'm getting the following error messages:

I've only modified the path definitions in configure/RELEASE. Are there any additional steps I should follow or configurations I might have missed?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
