Lakeshore 331 - stop heating at setpoint

Hello everyone,

 

I am a Labview beginner. I have a Lakeshore 331 temperature controller I installed the drivers and wrote a VI (ACQ choiw AB attached) to read the temperature from sensor A or B and save the values in a text file when the button "Save" is pressed. Temperature reading and saving of data seem to be working fine.  have error 1 occurring at Close when I press the Stop button. I think it's coming from the fact that sometimes I don't save anything and at the end of the while loop the program tries to close an inexistant file ?

 

But most importantly, for the Lakeshore 331, I tried to use the example given to write a VI that configures the parameters ( Configuration choix ab attached) but the heating doesn't stop at setpoint as expected. Is it because the heater output is manually chosen and then fixed ? I don't see how I can modify it to be able to keep the temperature steady at setpoint ?

 

Lakeshore drivers used in Configuration choix AB VI can be found here :
