Setting the GPIB timeout for responses
When using GPIB to control the power supply, make sure to set the GPIB timeout for
responses. The appropriate setting is dependent on the Model 2306 power supply configuration.
The GPIB timeout for responses is the duration the computer waits before timing out after
sending a request.
