TCP/IP communication with Agilent Technologies 34980A- Read values don't match with actual

[seen]

Hi,

I am working on program for Agilent Technologies 34980A (Multifunction switch/Measure unit) in LV8.0. I could establish the communication to the instrument through TCP/IP but the value what is read from the instrument is not matching with the actual values, means if I read channel 1 which is actually 28Deg C but will be read as -1.42, which is not matching.

Can anybody let me know what might have went wrong.

Attached is the basic read and write I use for communication.

Thanks,

Srinivasa

Are you unflattening the string to the correct data type?

You have not posted anything that makes sense. Are you or aren't you using the already written driver for it?
