IO timeout

[Student]

Hi People!

I'm trying to:

import vxi11
instr = vxi11.Instrument("192.168.0.26")
print(instr.ask("*IDN?"))
...
instr.ask("DATA:LOG:STATe 1")
...

Which results in:
HAMEG,HMC8012...
...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "multiple_measurements.py", line 14, in <module>
    instr.ask("DATA:LOG:STATe 1")
  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/vxi11/vxi11.py", line 743, in ask
  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/vxi11/vxi11.py", line 731, in read
  File "build/bdist.linux-x86_64/egg/vxi11/vxi11.py", line 701, in read_raw
vxi11.vxi11.Vxi11Exception: 15: IO timeout [read]
...

But nonetheless starts the logging alright - is there a way around handling the exception? Like configuring the IO timeout, or even better maybe not even wait for the read (like just sending, not waiting for something coming back)?

Best, Student

Instead of

instr.ask("DATA:LOG:STATe 1")

try

instr.write("DATA:LOG:STATe 1")

Thank you very much, thats exactly what I was looking for! Sorry for asking such a possibly extremely obvious question - is there a good place on the internet for example scripts? (Maybe I could contribute the basic scripts I wrote so far if there is nothing as of jet)
