HP 6629A Driver for Labview 2009 may have a bug?

[ncalanca]

6629A config output.vi that came with the driver may have a bug.  I am pretty new to labview so maybe I am incorrect, but the current range boolean was not wired to the T/F select block with the current limits for the instrument in high current and low current mode.  Instead the voltage range boolean was wired to that block.  Maybe I don't understand the operation of the instrument fully, but this seems like a mistake to me.  Any comments/help would be appreciated.

Post the code. and link the program guide if you would

Yes- many drivers do have some bugs. Agilient's are kinda known for it, especially with display formats and range incompatabilities. 

We'ld (well I would at least) be happy to bounce the code against the programming manual and help with any bug fixes that you need if you can provide the hardware and work to validate the fix.

Well, I already kind of fixed my version of it.  I will post that for now.  If you want I can post the original version of the vi that came with it when I downloaded the drivers.  The vi in question is called '6629A Config Output.vi'

This is a link to the operating manual for the instrument:

I hope that is what you needed.

Thanks for looking into this.

Yup-

Looks like you got it.  Another example of code that would never pass a code review.  Oh well- at least they didn't charge you for it

Thanks a lot for looking at it.  Can I try to get that fixed for anyone in the future that may wish to use these drivers?  How do I do that?
