Models: CMMC-1, CMMC-1S, CMMC-3, CMMC-3S, CMMC-5

Default settings: GPIB:PAD=15,SAD=None (CMMC)
Some newer systems may use an alternate PAD -i.e., Alt. PAD = 30 – Default PAD

e.g., PHC’s default PAD = 4 when used with Mitutoyo CMM but could revert to 26 on some Windows 7 PCs and latest NI 488.2 software.

See NI Tutorial that shows the method to determine unknown Primary ID - Tutorial.

For CMM-C / GPIB Timeout errors, try increasing the GPIB Timeout value and increasing the Delay Between GPIB Commands by increments of 10ms. This can resolve timeout issues after upgrading the PC to a faster CPU / clock.
