Hi,
I am using the "E5810A GPIB/LAN Gateway to control a HF Amplifier.
To communicate with the amplifier in VEE I am using the direct I/O objects.
My Problem:
Sometimes the amplifier doesn't turn on after sending the correct GPIB command which is "HF_ON" and the strange thing is that VEE does't display the 811 error message to tell me that no device was found or that there is a timeout error. which means that the desired amplifier was found , but why doesn't the amplifier react to my command ?? and why VEE is not able to inform me --by displaying an error message-- that the amplifier did not react to my command.
This strange behavior doesn't happen all the time and i have no idea what to do to fix this annoying problem, the timeout that i set in the direct i/o object of the amplifier is: 5s.
I will be happy if somebody could help me to understand and fix the problem.
Thanks in advance.

The communication between VEE, LAN and GPIB might have some lost packets dropped in between.
