Reverse polarity test using Programmable Sorensen Power supply

Can we conduct reverse polarity test for sorensen Programmable power supply controlling using Labview. ?. 

Plese advise.

I'm not exactly sure I know what you want to do. Do you want to switch an output from positive to negative? If so, that would depend on the supply and would described in the manual. A question for Sorensen and not really a LabVIEW issue.

Simple, Connect to a test load, source a low amperage constant current, measure voltage across the load.  Of course, this won't protect you if the operator changes the polarity of the meter too.

 

Better Solution: Hire competent operators.  It is VERY dificult to code around incompetence.
