Incrementing Function Generator using Labview

[Bunmi]

Good afternoon guys! so i am new to this and have been working on incrementing the Panasonic VP-8132A.

Not sure how to make this work. I have exhausted all my options here.

Attached is what i have so far, if anyone can help me....at least to point me in the right direction, i will appreciate it.

Thanks.

You had nothing connected to the case statement, the inner and out while loops had nothing wired to the conditional terminal, and you had nothing wired to the right side of the shift register. I could see no reason at all for the inner while loop and I'm guessing what the case statement is for. I made this a little more flexible to allow you to specify the start point, the increment, the stop point, and a loop delay. I replaced the GPIB Write with a VISA Write as VISA is generally the prefered GPIB communication method and added error in/error out connections. O prefer to use the Format Into String instead of the separate functions you have for creating the command. Other than that, I didn't need to change much at all.

Dennis, Thanks! funny...you changed everything 

One mor question: How can i change the GPIB address to what my address is?

The VISA Resource Name control has a little arrow on the right side. Just click it and you will get a list of all resources. Pick the one that corresponds to your instrument. It will be something like GPIB0::11::INSTR. You can also assign an alias to a resource in MAX. You could call it something like FuncGen. Typing the resource name or alias into the ontrol also works.
