Solutions
Possible solutions for this error are as follows:
• Use the correct byte count in input functions or have the Talker use the
END message to signify the end of the transfer.
• Lengthen the timeout period for the I/O operation using ibtmo .
• Make sure that you have configured your device to send data before
you request data.
ENEB (7)
ENEB occurs when a GPIB interface is configured for use by the system,
but the driver cannot find the interface. This problem happens when the
interface is not physically plugged into the system, the I/O address
specified during configuration does not match the actual interface setting,
or there is a system conflict with the base I/O address.
Solutions
Make sure there is a GPIB interface in your computer that is properly
configured both in hardware and software using a valid base I/O address
