Hi,

We have a high voltage power supply from Caliper Technologies Corp..605 HV control. We need to control this power supply using LabVIEW? we have LabView 8.2.0 version installed in our PC and which is connected to USB-6210 from NI. So please help me in this regard.

Thank you.

First, when posting a question, please put in something a little more descriptive for the subject than "Help".

What is a Carrier Technologies 605 HV Power supply?  I googled the name and came up with something that dealt with pharmaceuticals or biological testing.  Do you have a link to any technical info for this device?

What kind of interface does it provide?  0-10VDC input, 4-20 mA input, serial communication?

What are you having a problem with?

Sorry for that..

I wanted to control a HV power supply using LabVIEW? Can you tell me how to do that?

Only if you tell us what kind of interface it has.

So you changed the message subject but you still didn't answer the question you were asked. What type of interface does this instrument have for programming it? Please refer to the manual for it and if you don't understand it, post an electronic copt or a link to it. Unless you get very lucky and someone who has used the instrument sees your post, you won't be able to get much help.

Hi there,

I am trying to control the power supply through labview. I am using TTi QL355TP Bench power supply.
More information about it is found at  http://www.tti-test.com/products-tti/text-pages/psu-ql-series.htm .
We need to supply power to UUT using serial communication.

I have seen some sample examples which were scripted in labview of different manufacturers(like HP6624 A , tektronix etc.)
I have installed the corresponding QLTP driver & for controlling any power supply the basic steps are
1.initiliaze
2.configure
3.set voltage & current levels
4.Measuring them
5. Closing the device

Accordingly i tried to built a VI for controlling the power using labview. But i am not sure whether i am in the right direction.
But still i am trying. So the below mentioned is the  VI that i have integrated using all the components. when i am running it in labview by connecting to the Power supply, i am able to set & adjust the  voltage, current levels on both the channels. After that do i need to do any thing more in order to have efficient control?? I dont have a clue what to do next.

I need to do the above procedure for getting UUT tested in a thermal chamber by varying load.

Please do tell me if i am wrong.

Thanks & Regards.
Bash

With each and every loop, you are setting the same voltage and current limit, and enabing and disabling the output. If that is what you want, then you are done but I'm not sure I see the point of the while loop. You can also eliminate the sequence structure. It's even less useful than usual the way you have it.
