HMC8012 “crashes” when launching the example code more than once. #7

Closed Vincent-Stragier closed 10 months ago

Hi,

In #6, I noticed that the HMC8012 was crashing when trying to launch the example script more than once. The crash either lock the sampling (count stuck at 0) or impeach the remote host to create a log file internally.

Is there something missing in the script to properly reset the device (other than hmc8012 = RsInstrument(resource, reset=True, [...]) and hmc8012.clear_status())?

The workaround from now on is to manually restart the multimeter.

Best, Vincent

P.S.: if hmc8012 = RsInstrument(resource, reset=True, [...]) is equivalent to calling hmc8012.reset(), why do we also call hmc8012.clear_status() (which is called in hmc8012.reset())?

Unfortunately, the HMC8012 is a discontinued product, there will be no FW updates that can fix this issue...
