Hi,
I use LakeShore 350 for temperature measurement of electrical properties. The problem is that when I use "KRDG? A" to read out the temperature of channel A, it sometimes returns 0. This causes different problems, one of which is that the program ends due to the temperature condition (if I am cooling). So I would like to use the Operation event register of LakeShore 350. The manual states that using ''OPSTE 16'' we set Bit 4 of the Operation event register and this should give me the information if a new reading is available. I hoped that polling Bit 4 of the Operation event register using ''OPSTR?'' would solve the problem of returning 0 or even an empty string. I made a short VI just to se if this with the register works, but ''OPSTR?'' returns ''000'' instead of the expected 16 when a new reading is available. Does somone has an idea how to solve the problem? I would like to avoid making some while loops in which "KRDG? A" is sent to the instrument until the readout is different than 0.
Thanks
