IO error

[Rajan Arora]

Hi,
I am trying to get the data out of an instrument through its GPIB port
and using python code. I am able to perfectly control the operation of
the instrument with my code. But I have not figured out a way as yet
to get the data of the GPIB.
I thin that it will go through 2 steps:
1) instrument transfers data to its output buffer
2) Read from the output buffer.

When i try read() command it gives me an IO timeout error.

Any suggestions?

Thanx in advance.
