13.2.3 Card not at specified I/O address

If you receive the following error message, "Error Sending Command"
iberr=EDVR <DOS error>", the IEEE interface controller card could not be
found at the I/O address specified. Use the installation program that came
with the controller card to make sure the settings in the configuration file
match the DIP switch settings on the card. Refer to the documentation that
was supplied with the interface card for help on resolving this type of
problem.

13.3 Constant or Frequent Syntax Error messages

If the instrument connected fails to respond properly to any command, it
may be in the CIIL language mode. The LSGUI program was designed to
support only the APE language. To resolve this problem, use the
Configuration, IEEE Interface... menu to bring up the IEEE Interface settings
screen. From here you can issue interactive commands. Send the "TLK STA"
command. If the response is incomprehensible or no response is received,
try sending the "GAL" command. (Go Alternate Language) This should put
the L-Series unit back in the APE command language mode. Verify this by
sending another "TLK STA" command. The response should be STA OK
now.

13.4 Configuration errors

If you receive occasional error messages involving the L-Series unit
connected, there may be a discrepancy between the hardware configuration
of the unit connected and that held by the LSGUI program. In case like this, it
may be helpful to re-query the configuration data from the L-Series unit. This
can be accomplished by selecting the Configuration, System Settings...
menu. This will cause the configuration data to be queried from the
connected L-Series unit again. Verify the values shown in this window and
make sure they correspond to the hardware you are using. If there is still a
discrepancy, fill out a problem report form and submit it.
