Hi Community,
I'm having a strange behaviour when reading the configuration of a Toellner TOE 8871 power supply.
There are two possibilities to read the maximum current from the instrument with the IVI driver:
1. Call the function toe8871_GetAttributeViReal64 with the define TOE8871_ATTR_PEAK_CURRENT as third parameter. The maximum current is returned in the forth parameter (handed over as reference). In this case I get 40A, which is definitely wrong 😞 It looks like the instrument returns the maximum voltage which is 40V. But the define TOE8871_ATTR_PEAK_VOLTAGE contains a different value.
2. Call function toe8871_WriteInstrData (ulPsHandle, "C? MAX"). With toe8871_ReadInstrData I get the correct value 50A.
Since it is more comfortable to use the first possibilty I'ld like to know what the reason for this behaviour is. Has anybode ever heard of this issue?
Any help is welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Rudi
