Subject: Error in accessing USB based DSO via E5810B Gateway

Hello,

I am trying to access a USB based DSOs (Tektronics TDS 2014B or Agilent DSO1024A) using Keysight/Agilent E5810B Ethernet gateway. My connection string is as follows:

vxi11Configure("L2", "10.42.0.10", 0, "0.0", "usb0[1689::872::C039225::0]", 0, 0)

However, on starting the IOC, I am getting following errors/warnings:

L2 vxiBusStatus error VXI: operation not supported
2026/09/16 16:14:42.685 L2 asynGpib:srqPoll srqStatus error error

There is no response from following record:

record (stringin, "$(P)$(DEVICE)IDN")
{
    field (SCAN, "Passive")
    field (DTYP, "stream")
    field (INP,  "@e5810b_gateway.proto query_idn $(PORT) $(ADDR)")
    field (PINI, "YES")
}

Corresponding stream protocol:

query_idn {
    out "*IDN?" LF;
     in "%s" LF;
}

GPIB and serial ports of E5810B are working correctly with EPICS. Also, the DSOs are responding when they are directly accessed using PyVISA-py library.

Kindly guide me.

With Regards
