Local Variable or Write VISA Icon?

[Michelle1892773]

Suppose that you have a control in front panel to set amplitude of generator. If you do a loop in which you desire to increse every loop the amplitude it's better use a local variable of control in front panel or Icon WRITE of VISA to do this? What is the better solution?

Writing to the local variable in your code will do absolutely nothing in setting the instrument.
