Hi,
I am trying to program a Keithley SMU to Instrument assistant in Labview. However, I do not know what commands to issue. The manual has codes, but everytime I put a different one in for the command..... I get the same token value. Can someone instruct me on how to sync the SMU to the Instrument assistant? Thank you.

Whether you can run in parallel will depend on the type of interface you are using (RS-232, GPIB, etc.) and will be no different with the driver functions or the Instrument I/O Assistant. The Instrument Assistant is just a crude form of a real driver (imo). The underlying code generated by the assistant is going to be pretty similar to what is in the driver - just less flexible and efficient. In fact, it seems to me that the instrument I/O assistant would tend to force you to sequential operation if you try to cram all functions into the assistant and that's a bad design.
Aside from the help window in the Assistant, I can't provide much assistance in using it. Your first step would be to fully understand the instrument and the programming manual. Before writing any code, test the commands and look at the responses in a program like Hyperterminal. that should give you a better idea of the sequence of events that you need to do in the assistant.
