Hi Michael,My email is just for my curiosity that may help you a little. I think, you already pass my questions already. However, in case not. :)

Could it be a terminator problem, though GPIB does not normally use terminators.I thought about terminators as well, though as you say this would be unusual. I tried adding various combinations of ';' '\r' '\n' with no apparent change. If I send 'BEEP;BEEP;BEEP' the device will beep three times, and doesn't report an error. So I think it is decoding commands correctly.
According to its manual, the beeper emits a 1 kHz beep if an error occurs. Does three BEEP commands actually generate three errors?
I haven't gotten as far as asyn yet. The E8510A has an embedded web server which can discover and send queries to any connected devices independently of any client software stack. My feeling is that if this doesn't work, then no client will. For good measure I also tried the python-vxi11 module, which behaves the same.
Which command (button) do you use "Send" or "Query"? Best, Han

"ID?" isn't a typo. The 3458A DMM doesn't quite follow the usual conventions. I have tried "*IDN?", which the device tells me (via its front panel) is an error.

I'm contacting Keysight support, but thought I'd see if someone had already run across this issue. It appears that the DMM is receiving commands which I send. "BEEP" makes the DMM beep. If I send an invalid command I can read the error message through its front panel. However, valid commands which should send a reply (eg. "ID?") don't trigger an error, but also timeout without sending back any reply string. I see the same behavior with a second 3458A. Also when sending commands directly through the embedded web server in the E5810A or a python vx11 client. I tried two different GPIB devices (Keithley and Datron DMMs) with the same E5810A and cable. Both send back replies and otherwise behave as I expect. Thanks, Michael Also, a random fact for Friday. I was on a flight from JFK to LHR which was listed as 3458 miles.
