Error 85: The input string does not contain data in the expected format

Well I hope so.

Yes the provided software works with the supply, on my v1 / v1.5 I can change the Voltage and Current display on the GPD-2303S. But it was with an other configuration with "Voltage Setting" and "Current Setting" but these don't have an enable or disable output button. So for my v2 / v2.5 I am using the "Configuration Output" that regroup Current, Voltage and Output settings. So I need a Read Setting to change my Voltage, Current Settings. Unfortunatly it don't work.

I didn't tried with Hyperterminal or puTTy, I'll check for it to learn how it works. But yes the third party provided software work, all except the Read Setting.

- here is my v1

It looks like you've made some local changes to the driver files.

My copy has Configure Current and yours has Configure Current_CH_1.

There really should not be any need to edit the third party provided Drivers.

Maybe a reinstall is needed?

Definitely get a feel for how to talk to the power supply directly over a terminal program though. Once you understand how that works, getting it working in LabVIEW using VISA and Serial calls will be trivial.

Yes, because the driver files like "Configure Voltage" do not indicate which are they, so if I input (12 V / 2 A) in Channel 1 (CH1) with this one it copy the same for Channel (CH2) in the program, So I was not able to check when I double-click, itwas looking like the datas I send were the same for both channels...

That's why I renamed it and created 2 Configure Voltage different, then it do not get mixed up the datas on the prog. So the difference is only the name.

I do not think that was bad to change it, I created 2 entity and it is more readable on the prog.

- Here are the VIs I renamed without the different versions If needed. (In Public Configure and in Datas, the original are here too)

Hello,

I tried to change the driver VIs "Configure Voltage CH1 CH2" and "Configure Current CH1 CH2", I gave them the function to "ENABLE OUTPUT if T" and now I think it's working 😮

I can change the sets, and output it like I want, without error, but I am scared to try it on a card lol, is it retarded tried that worked, I know that's bad to change the driver VIs but I think now they are ok. Please check it.

- Here my version special: .vs1

- The VIs I edit are "Configure Voltage CH1 CH2" and "Configure Current CH1 CH2". It appears like it works I'm going to test it.

[Robinm76]

Sorry for triple post, I can not test it, I can change only voltage when I run the output... So I have 0 A at Current, or it's only displaying it I don't know. It was probably a bad idea but it was a good try tho.

[Taki1999]

Sorry, I'm a little confused about what the situation is now.

Have all your errors gone away?

Sounds like you're able to talk to the Supply now and change voltage.

Do you have a device connected? If you don't have anything connected to the supply, the supply will not push current.

Were you able to communicate with the supply using a terminal program?

[Robinm76]

Yes, my errors are gone except 2 little error:

- When I start by an execute in continu it say "ID Query Error" something like that... But if I execute then execute in continu there is no problem.

- After a while I have some problem to change the value while execute in continu

- When my GPD-2303S is ON and detected for the first time it display an error of E/S

[Robinm76]

But it works perfectly. Just some error at start.
