Pacific Power 320-ASX Single Phase Mode

Hello.

 

I have been using NI's Instrument Drivers (latest for Labview2014) for a year now and used their example directly to create a sub VI that controls my Pacific Power 320-ASX 3 phase power supply (it is connected to an 8135 via GPIB).  It has worked without issues for a year now.  What I didn't realize is that NI's example sets up the power supply for 3 phase and I've just determined that I need single phase.  In their example, there is a subVI to configure the instrument with a pull down that contains phase options of: Three (default), Split, or Single.  I've selected "Single" and when I run the VI the power supply enables the output and then immediately enters a shutdown mode and disables the output.  I have tried numerous combinations of configuring the power supply using NI's Instrument Driver but I cannot get it to run in Single Phase mode.  Anyone have an insight or ideas on why it works fine in 3 phase but will not for single phase.  I can manually put the power supply into single phase mode using the front panel (and also with their UPC Manager Software) so I'm certain the issue is with the NI Instrument Driver.  Any help is appreciated.
