Hi Swamy,
I'll suggest you to come up with some idea and try to make some code and that's how you'll learn LabVIEW.
Say if you have any specific problem, feel free to post here and someone will definitely try to help you out...!!
Can you post what you had build so far??

HI
I want to switch off and ON agilest 5477 power supply. Once power supply is ON the output is set to Volts and it remains same till 15 minutes and after that it should switch to 8 volts for a time 15 sec and again it switch back to V till 15 min this cycle should continue till user stops.

- how do you communicate to the power supply to tell it what to do?
- a simple state machine will cycle through your case statements with elapsed timer vi ,communication protocols, shift registers, while loop and stop terminal control

I've programmed Agilent supplies before. Typically they are RS232 or GPIB. Which interface is the power supply you are trying to communicate with ? The user manual comes with a list of commands for each of the functions you wish to perform. I suggest you identify those first. Then anyone here can help you build your LabVIEW code ... we won't be building it though 🙂

As far as I can tell, there is no 5477 from Agilent so your first task would be to determine the actual model number. Then, you can use Help> Find Instrument Drivers.
i looked for both 5447 Agilent and Agilest power supplies....none to be found?
