Labview 5.0 Expert Look in

[cheyne]

I am using labview 5.0.

I am facing a problems where i want to send a string which is more than 16 characters to GPIB write VI.

The command I want to send is DISPLAY:TRACE:Y:RLEVEL -10dBm.

I divided the command into 3 parts which is DISPLAY:TRACE:Y:RLEVEL ,   -10,   dBm. and append them together using concatenate string VI and send to the GPIB write VI.

Due to the string I sending is too long. The concatenate string VI does not allow me to do so.

Can anyone show me any others way to send the command?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards

Your string is not too long for the concantanate string function. Why do you think it's too long? The concantanate string function doesn't have an error output. Are you maybe trying to concantanate a string with some other data type? Why don't you post your VI or a picture of it?
