VISA Write Continously

Hello. I am needing some help on VISA Write function. I saw a few post close to my needs but I am quite confuse. I am working on a project to control 2 servo motor (yaw and pitch).

I am using VISA write to send data to serial port. But, I can only send once (e.g: 8813 8813- hex). If I want to send the second one, (e.g: 7C15 7C15), I have to clear the data manually on my front panel. Only this makes my servo to move for any data that I send. 

Somehow, when I send my second data (e.g: 7C15 7C15), it indicates "return count-8" and "status write- operation completed sucessfully" but my servo does not move.

I am unsure how to troubleshoot this issue. Your kind assistance will really help me alot. Thank you.

It really does no good to keep hammering the device with the same data. Use an event structure to only send when the string changes value.

Thank you for the guidance.

Is there any example code related that I can go through?
