Can't Trig a 6811B Agilent power supply

[TiTou]

Hello all,
I'm using a 6811B Agilent power supply on a process to test electrical stuff.

I'm trying to control this through GPIB using VISA functions in LabVIEW 5.1. I've designed different "patterns" of AC signal that I'd like to provide to the process, but once the settings are done I don't know how to start/trig the sequence.
I tried with the TRIG functions in 488 and 488.2 but this doesn't work...

Anybody could tell me what GPIB command I should use ??

The only thing I have to go by is the code in the HP68xxA driver and in there, the output trigger first has to be configured with the command :TRIG:SOUR:BUS, armed with INIT:CONT:SEQ OFF; :INIT:IMM:SEQ1 or INIT:CONT:SEQ ON; :INIT:IMM:SEQ1;, and then you can issue the *TRG command. Since I don't have either the instrument or instrument manual, I can't confirm any of this. You should also consider upgrading your version of LabVIEW. The oldest version of the driver is written in 6.0. If you want to use it, you might try posting the llb to see if anyone can convert it for you. The oldest version that I can save to is 6.1, otherwise I'd do it.

Thanks alot !

I wish I could upgrade my version of LabVIEW but some people up in my hierarchy are just too tight arse..

I saw the driver you're telling me about, but cannot use it...
Thanks for giving me the commands, I think that should do the job
