comand power supply through GPIB

Hi I am Michele De Santis,

 

I am trying to command a elind 500 KL power supply through GPIB with a NI PXI. I can easily read the values of current and voltage of the instrument with the VISA read block in LabView environment. The problem presents when I want to use the write VISA block, in other words when I want to put a voltage and current values from my PXI. The instrument put itself, after I send the command, in CCM (current costant mode, before it was in VCM voltage costant mode) at 0 V and 0 A and from this moment on, I can't switch the status of the power supply unless I dont turn the instrument off. Anyone knows why?

 

Thanks!
