Unknown attribute ResourceAttribute.suppress_end_enabled (VI_ATTR_SUPPRESS_END_EN)

cpagravel commented 3 years ago

I'm not entirely sure how I can reproduce this issue. I have an automated test that runs a lot of extra layers and I'm not able to reproduce the issue outside of using the device in the test. The issue occurs 100% of the time for me.

I'm using an ITECH- IT7321 device. It has a USB port for communication.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

I started debugging this issue but I haven't found a great explanation of what VI_ATTR_SUPPRESS_END_EN is. Could someone provide some details about this? It might help me isolate the issue to make something reproducible.

In my code I have a separate thread polling three measurements from the device. This occurs every 0.1 seconds.

instr.query(":MEASURE:CURRENT:AC?;:MEASURE:VOLTAGE:AC?;:MEASURE:POWER:AC?")

In another thread I am running additional threads for communicating with serial devices unrelated to pyvisa.

The error I have is below:

This attribute appears to be accessed in read but has not been implemented for the resource. Looks like I made a mistake. Can you add "SUPPRESS_END_EN" to the list at https://github.com/pyvisa/pyvisa-py/blob/main/pyvisa_py/usb.py#L87, alternatively you could comment out the line https://github.com/pyvisa/pyvisa-py/blob/main/pyvisa_py/usb.py#L141 and the following ones ? If you can confirm the first fix works for you I would love to get a PR for it.

Thanks for the quick response. I'll try adding "SUPPRESS_END_EN" to the list you mentioned on L87 and re-running.

The first fix seemed to work, thanks for sparing the time! I'd be happy to throw up a PR.
