I'm attempting to use the Plug&Play driver for the HP34401A and am having
trouble with the Self Test command. It initiates the self test, but then a
red error box pops up after 2-3 seconds indicating a device timeout. The
Panel driver timeout is 20 seconds (for now) and I can find no other.
The panel and component drivers work fine but I know I should not mix P&P
with others. I am using the P&P driver off the CD that came with Vee and
not the web.
Thanks in advance.

Keith,
I haven't used the 34401 so maybe this is a stupid question, but in the
function panel tree view (the function hierarchy, where you chose the Self
Test function), just underneath Self Test is a Time Out Setup function.
Have you tried setting the timeout higher using this function?
Also it's not obvious (but it is documented
Edit Function Panel open for a function, on the Panel tab, you can access
Help on each function or parameter with a right-button click on the Panel
background or parameter widget...
