# Function Reference

# _viGpibBusReset

GPIB BUS "reset": Use this function when the GPIB BUS gets stuck for some reason. You might be lucky and resolve the problem by calling this function

#include <Visa.au3>
_viGpibBusReset ( )

## Return Value

Success: | 0.
Failure: | -1 if the VISA DLL could not be open or a NON ZERO value representing the VISA error code (see the VISA programmer's guide)

## Remarks

As for all the VISA functions the VISA libraries must be installed (you can check whether visa32.dll is in {WINDOWS}\system32) and a GPIB card (such as a National Instruments NI PCI-GPIB card or an Agilent 82350B PCI High-Performance GPIB card) must be installed
