Hello,
Newb here, so be gentle. I am attempting to control my DP 8200 remotely using GPIB commands on LabVIEW. I can scan the system in MAX and the instrument comes up. I can even write a short little sequence to send commands, but the DP doesn't respond to them. I found this older post that says I need to input all the zeros, but this does nothing.
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/data-precision-8200-gpib/msg959404/#msg959404I'm using the commands found here -http://www.ko4bb.com/manuals/128.146.189.114/DataPrecision_8200_6.5_Digit_Calibrator_Service_Manual.pdf
They seem simple, but I cannot get it to work!
My sequence consists of: Initialize system (with an address string of 0 for the controller) then a GPIB write command (address string=20, command=V1+07.00000, mode=0) then error out.
I have tried going through all the mode options, I have tried restructuring the command (less zeros, more zeros, no zeros, with " ", with \r, with \n). I'm feeling hopeless. Help please!
