Yes, I've experienced this, and I also believe it's because the .vxe is running faster. Try placing some delays (or OK buttons) in critical areas, to see if it works as a .vxe. You can then adjust the delays down until you find the shortest delay that works consistantly (if time is an issue). You could also determine from the instrument manuals how long each operation should take, and set the delays accordingly, or, if you really want it to be streamlined, use the status registers to determine when it's finished processing a command before sending the next.

Good morning,
I just created a run time version of my VEE program making it a standalone
VXE file. Problem is, the VEE code works fine the VXE file does not. It is
a simple program that goes out and resets all of my instruments and clears
their status registers. I'm thinking the VXE is running faster than the VEE
code causing it to not work properly. Has anyone experienced this problem ?
Thanks in advance
Ross

You are correct. When I was developing instrument
drivers it was discovered that doing:
 <write message>
 <receive message>
 <write message>
would cause a query interreupted error. (This is an
instrument parser problem.) The solution is to put a
delay after
every place where you would receive a message.
100 microseconds should be sufficient. If you are
coding in C, downloading the hpe1429 Plug&Play driver
from the Agilent web site will give an example of this.
Just look for doDelay in the hpe1426.c file.
