Power supply control

I have solved the problem by using array for commands.

Hi,

what type of power supply you have ? as an example for Aim-TTI power supply you need to download LabVIEW driver from the TTI website.

you don`t need to use the visa Palette.

Best Regards.

thank you.

Hello,

My power supply is from Chinese company "MHInstek", has non-standard command set. I have successfully created a VI to adjust parameters finally, but now I want to add "read output values" function, I was using "format into string" for write function, now if I want to read returned values from from power supply, which function I have to use? Returned voltage string is ex. "Aru03500" means 35.00V  How to convert this value to see on "meter" in front panel?

First, the array method is no different from the flat sequence method except that you added a 60ms delay between commands (sort of).

To extract the 35V from "Aru03500" you just need scan from string or similar string to numeric conversion function as implemented in the below example. Please note the offset "3"  used to skip the first three characters in the response and the scaling factor "100" used to scale the value to voltage.

Thank you very much, this is what I was looking for.
