set current level, OCP in hpe363xa drivers

[Ariel]

I'm useing the agilent 3634a DC power supply in constant current mode. I don't see in any of the supplied drivers, one's that set the OCP or the current level. I do use the 'set OVP' and 'set the voltage level', along with the 'set current limit'. Did i miss them? or do I try to monkey with one of the others to make it set the current level and OCP? or do I just write the string to the device using the file I/O write? If I do that last option, do I mess up the drivers at all?

hi, I am using E3631A instead. However, you may wanna read on for some hints.
___________
I used [HPE3631A Configure Output.vi] for setting the Initial Voltage & Initial Current Limit levels.

Later, to make changes only to the Volatge setting, I, again, used [HPE3631A Configure Output.vi] with "Current Mode" wired to "TRUE"

(I think it should be the same for setting the Current)

Would you try this?

Hmmm, so I looked, and I don't see a 'Configure Output.vi'. only a 'Configure Output Range' (which will let me set a current or voltage range) and a 'Configure Output Enabled', but I want to set the current level the power supply is trying to drive in CC mode and the OCP. on the front panel I do this by makeing the the voltage limit very high, and the current limit low, then dialing up the current. So I could sneak and do this with the 'Configure Output Range' but I'm still not sure how to programmatically set the OCP useing the drivers. Thanks for the comment though.

I can now see the different.

Well, perhaps you may need this info next time.

Take care and good luck.
