Problems Interfacing Kiethely 2010 DDM with LAbview

[Dennis_Knutson]

You might want to have Context Help turned on. Move your mouse over the Fomat Value function and in the help window, click on the Detailed Help link. That will explain what the %d does. It's amazing how much you can learn by just reading the manual..

As far as the \r\n (not the /r/n as you wrote), the string constant has the '\' Codes Display turned on. You get this by right clicking on the constant. A \r and a \n are a Carriage Return and a Line Feed. They are apparently needed to terminate the command string.

thanks for helping me out but i am still blank on the %d command i even read the detailed help but i was unable to find te answer kindly enlighten me it with the command

The format %d says to take the numeric input and convert to a signed decimal integer string. The exact help topic is Format Specifiers Syntax Elements. In your code with :"Route:Scan (@%D:" and if you had the number 2 as an input, the function would output ":Route:Scan (@2:"

This is basic stuff in LabVIEW. Did you ever take any of the tutorials I gave a link to?
