Does anybody know a GPIB command other than ibdev() that sets the bus
timeout?

Unless i mistaken that is a driver function, not a proper bus property. But
it has been 20 years, do you have a current ieee-488 spec you can lend me?

Hi, Just adding my concurrance. ibtimo() and ibdev() are typically National
Instruments driver API calls. ibtimo() is used for an open device using an
existing device handle. ( ibdev() is to open a device and you can set the
initial values.)
Remember the timeout value is an index not the acutal timeout. They have
defines for the times (T10, T30 etc).

What is the underlying driver that the 'multidevice API' is using?
