Agilent 3640A power supply.  I am writing a vi to control this PS and I am noticing that the PS will output voltage when you change the output voltage values even when the output.vi that comes with the other vi's is set to false(OFF).  Is this just a problem with these vi's?  I downloaded them from NI.

Thanks

And specifically, which VI are you using? Does this happen with any of the examples? Did you actually run Configure Output Enabled to set the output off? Could you just attach the code you are running?

This is the llb that I downloaded.

The vi that I have also runs an Agilent 6700 PS which runs perfect on with my vi but this E3640A has the strange side effects.

Well, that's not the latest driver and you did not answer my questions. What functions/VIs are you calling? Why don't you attach the code you wrote that calls the functions in that driver?

The Configure Voltage Level has a single command to set the voltage. If you disable the output, run the VI, and the output turns on, then I'd say its a problem with the instrument.

I will update the driver and then go over my code a little closer.  I can't post the VI's they have too much company proprietary information in them. 😞  I may also try the software on another instrument. 

As for which VI's I am using (not exact names) they are: voltage configure, configure output enabled VI, and an age364xa Single Channel example for initialization.

I solved my problem.  Thanks
