Hello, I am trying to send multiple commands to an instrument GPIB and USB via instrument driver in Labview, connected to the write buffer, I am using the concatenating block, is this correct in your opinion?

That depends on the instrument you are communicating with.  Some instruments have no issue with combining commands into a single message.  Following the SCPI standard, the commands are separated by a semicolon (;).  Other instruments, however, have a very limited command buffer and you have to give time for the instruments to process the commands before sending the next one.
