I'm running labview 8.6 on windows 7 with a GPIB-USB-HS which is connected to an HP 34401A multimeter. This setup is used to record pressure readings. Lately I've been having a problem where labview will suddenly freeze and stop taking pressure values. This crash happens randomly and without warning. It may be triggered by the pressure values changing very rapidly but I'm not sure. I initially suspected the computer, the drivers, or the multimeter but I have since ruled those sources out. My only conclusion now is that the GPIB is failing in some way. Is there anyway I can diagnosis the GPIB or rectify this problem?

It looks like our problem was that we had a bad connection with our gpib cable, causing labview to time out waiting to talk to the instrument it was connected to. We swapped out the bad cable and no more crashing. Thanks!

GPIB crashing when running labview

Solved!

Thanks for posting the update. I passed on the feedback that you couldn't attach the iotrace file, hopefully that will be fixed soon.
