Timeout error on this VI.

[Dravi99]

Hello,

I am trying to figure out why is it giving timeout error on this vi.

I would like to use VISA functions instead of GPIB but dont know how. Tried a few tutorials but couldn't get through. I am trying to control the Chroma DC load 63102.

I want to read a value on the load once it is set , to collect in an array for further calculation.

There are discrete steps and fixed step options of the user, however if I choose to do discrete steps, the program still executes one case of fixed step operation.

I need help in understanding exactly how to fix these problems.

Attached here is the VI.

I am fairly new to LV, so you might expect silly and stupid mistakes from me but kindly helpme learn from them.

Thanks for your support.

I fixed it. but I still would like to have some help on VISA. It should make life easier.

Hi Dravi99,

Here are a couple links to some resources that may be helpful for learning VISA:
