Force voltage and current measurement keithley 2400

I am using Labview 8.2 for GPIB interface with keithley.
 
I am forcing voltage and measuring current at the same time.
 
for forcing voltage i set the amplitude and for measuring current i set the current compliance
 
However when i do "meas:curr:dc?"  my current compliance is reset to default value and i get wrong reading.
 
Is there any other setting i need to do before i do measure current.
 
Also i want to use "meas:curr:dc?" only?
 
Thanks

Hey,
Here is the driver for Keithley 2400 source meter that you will need in order to work with LabVIEW. There will be an example program that you can test it with.
Thanks and good luck with everything!

hi,
 
Thanks for your reply.
 
I solved the problem. Before every read statement there should be OUTP ON.
I used this and got the required measurements with the required settings.
 
Thank you
