First thanks in advance for any adivce on this. I'm pretty new to labview. I am trying to set a current remotely on a Kepco BOP 36-12. Manually the power supply works fine, and I have no issues setting a positive current, but the issue comes in setting a negative current. When I switch the voltage set point to negative I can set a current down to -5 amps, anything lower than -5 amps hits the voltage limit for a reason that I can't figure out. Thank you again!

I have not worked with the Kepco BOP since the mid 90's, but we must have had 10 or so test set each with 6 BOP to create 3 phase current and voltage.
As I recall they are nothing more than a power amplier and will follow the signal you supply within its limit. +/- its rails.
We did not control them directly with LabVIEW. We controled them via standard function generators with LabVIEW.
Is you problem with the setup of the BOP or is it with the device between the LabVIEW and the BOP.
Can't tell what the missing subVI are doing from the VI you posted.
