gpib write problem???

[Ke Sun]

Hi there,

I am trying to debug a huge porject, and there has been some very strange problems with the Agilent 3632a happening. Basically I am trying to tell the power supply to set to a certain voltage and current, however the display shows the right settings, just that the "OFF" indicator is lite up all the time. If I switch to manual, I can turn it on.

The pictures of VIs I attached are the 3632a set and the GPIB write that are used in the program. I was hoping if anyone can take a look and find any problems that are within?

Thanks!

Ke

Try sending the command 'OUTP ON' (output on). And why don't you try the driver available here. If you don't want to use the driver, I would recomend that you use VISA instead of the GPIB functions. They both work but VISA gives you a more portable application.

Thanks, I will try that out!
