Howdy! I'm currently working with LabView 2018, the Yokogawa GM10 DAQ device and drivers to receive and send signals to various instruments in an experiment. I've configured the receiving part and have a VI that can receive, process, display signals, see attached (monstrous, "Test_Stands_DAQ_V2") VI. This VI is based on the second attached ("Yokogawa GX20..." example provided in the driver installation.
The issue I'm having now is sending signals to the GM10. I want to set some value with a control somewhere between 4-20mA. I can manually set the output value in Yokogawa's SMARTDAC+ Web program, however cannot configure it in LabView. I've tried building a simple VI, third attached ("Control Output 1"), but the error message provided (Error -1074001903) doesn't seem to have much information in the forums or otherwise. I would, of course, eventually like to tie this SubVI with the test stands VI and be able to read and write to the DAQ simultaneously.
I do not have much familiarity with the communications methods used with the Yokogawa-LabView drivers, and any help in figuring this out would be greatly appreciated!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Update - resolved my own issue after some troubleshooting.
Just like several of the LabView VIs, either with NI hardware or Yokogawa, the palette modules used in the Yokogawa drivers run "in series", such as shown in the image below. You just run the Set_ManualAO.vi from the Yokogawa palette in series with the Read_Measurement_Data.vi. Quite simple, unsure why I was having so much trouble!
