I don't know if you are asking for the syntax for the command or something else. The command should be listed in the instrument's manual.

If you are asking how to issue a command after terminating a while loop, the command should be outside the loop and connected to the VISA resource/GPIB address. It will execute after the while loop stops.

If you continue to have problems, post the VI so someone can look at it.

Sir,

Thanks for your reply, As you told terminating is in while loop. I tried to give device commands 'C0' & 'Z0' using format and Ammend command of labview. It was terminating but it is not going to zero check mode. Just say me How to use these commands outside the loop.

If possible Send me some examples in which devices are going to zero check mode.I will send you my code in Next msg.,.

Thanking You.,.

You should use "Visa write" to send commands to your meter.

Anyway, posting your VI will clarify a lot of doubts
