I/O Timeout

Select this option to set the timeout value for GPIB I/O operations. The timeout value is the minimum length of time that NI-488.2 calls wait for data to be transferred or commands to be sent. The NI-488.2 software also uses the timeout value when any general timing functionality is required. For example, it is the length of time the ibwait function (with TIMO in the input mask) waits for an event before returning. The default timeout period is 10 s.
