Agilent 33521A control VI

Hi, 

I am a newbie to labview and currently struggling to in writing VI for controlling Agilent 33521A function generator. 

Basically, I would like to control the function generator and receive its output from the oscilloscope. 

I have attached the image of my current VI which contains the SCPI code for controlling outputs from the function generator. 

However, I would like to give specific frequency of the output for given time and other frequency (same waveform with different F) after some fixed time. 

Thus, I want a frequency stored (like "a=frequency") and  an user control knob or a box in the front panel for this frequency user input. And possibly use this stored value to somewhere else; like calculating time division at oscilloscope capture. 

I am sorry if this is not clear enough. Any advise would be a great help. 

Thanks!

You just need make another loop for controlling your function generator.  As long as you know the commands, just build them up and send whenever you need to.  I would also recommend looking for a driver and use that instead of building the SCPI commands yourself (see here).  It makes life a little easier.

Thanks for the post. I will try few things.
And for the drivers, I initially started with those but somehow gets strange errors every time i excute the program so I just built that instead.
