3. Known Issues

To report issues or provide feedback about this instrument driver, please send an email to instrument.drivers@ni.com.

  1. When using RS232 for serial communication, first select the instrument to go into RS232 mode from the menu system on the front panel. Once instrument has been initialized for remote communication, do not press any front panel keys. Doing so will interrupt further communication and create errors, in which case the instrument will need to be power cycled and re-initialized again.
  2. (For model 4034 with firmware v0.43 only) Trigger configurations for channel 2 may at times not respond correctly. This has been fixed with updated v0.44 firmware. Please contact B&K Precision for details.
