Hello,
I have the Agilent 34401 Read Multiple Measurements.vi example
it appears to read as fast as possible
does anyone have any examples where you can set the sampling frequency?
google AI says maximum is 1kHz / 1 sample per millisecond
so if I set it to 10kHz, I assume I would get an error or maybe it would default to the maximum it could do
but if I want to sample every 100ms for example, how could I do that?
I supposed I could put a 100ms delay in the while loop but this doesnt seem efficient.
Thank you

I guess you could read the manual for your device to find the answer.
Did you?

It looks like it can be set with remote interface operation
I dont know how to do this

I have been searching online and not finding much of anything.
I made the code:
and ran it and didnt get an error
but when I ran the example program
with 10 samples, it only took a few seconds, not 100

has anyone ever came across this or have any ideas?
I am willing to try any suggestions.

The command in your code image is different to the command in the manual image in the message before.
And it seems you don't send an EndOfLine char with the command…

yes, i am sure I didnt implement it correctly. I am just guessing and hoping my guessing will add something that will spark an idea in someone who is more familiar with this type of thing.
I would think this is a fundamental feature commonly used
but Maybe there is a simpler answer that the sampling rate can not be set or determined with labview/34401A DMM.
Does it just take the specified number of samples at a rate that we can not set or verify?
The manual references remote interface operation in several locations but nowhere shows how to use/implement it and my internet searches have not yielded any labview examples.

I put the feedback node in from this post
https://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Timing-a-while-loop/td-p/3922638
into the read multiple points from the instr.lib
for 10 samples it is zero, for 100 it is 1.7, so shouldnt it be 0.17 for 10
50 is also 1.7, so is 2.1???
