Possible Solutions
Try these remedies to resolve the following causes for when you use the TCP/IP client interface for:
Reading ASCII (text) data using the
readline
function.Reading binary data using the
read
function.
Cause | Solution |
---|---|
An invalid command was sent to the device, so there is a problem reading the response to the command. | Check your device manual for proper command formatting. |
An incorrect write terminator was sent to the instrument before attempting to read data, so there is no data to read. | Verify that the Terminator property is set to the
value required by your device. For more information about setting the
property, see configureTerminator . |
Your device did not receive the command because the remote host address or the remote port is incorrect. | Verify that the device is at the remote host address that you
specified, and is listening on the remote port that you specified when
you created the tcpclient object. For more
information about communication settings, see Create TCP/IP Client and Configure Settings and Write and Read Data over TCP/IP Interface. |
