how to control 8662A

I am trying to control an 8662A sig gen. I am sending the following:

Call SendIFC(0)
Call ibpad(7,16)
Call Send(7,16,"FR300MZ",NLend)

Now, the unit goes into remote but the settings on the 8662A does not change. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Hi,

This could be a termination character issue. Does the instrument require a certain sequence to terminate a statement? Consider using NI-SPY to see what you are really sending to your instrument for further debugging.
