Hi
I'm using a new E36102B power supply and getting error -108 "parameter not allowed" when I'm trying to enable the output with Labview.
I can set the voltage and current limit, also initialize and close is working.
But the "Configure Output Enabled.vi" fails all the time.
I can switch the output on manually.
I have installed:
E36xx, E36xxx DC Power Supply IVI and MATLAB Instrument Drivers
Current Version: 1.6.1.0 | 2019-11-27
E36xx LabVIEW Driver for the Keysight Programmable Power Supplies
Current Version: 1.0.1 | 2019-08-13
also the Keysight IO Libraries Suite is installed, but I'm using NI MAX.
The power supply has the current firmware:
Current Firmware/Software
| Version: | 1.0.1-1.00 |
|---|---|
| Release Date: | 2017-08-28 |
I was able to set to output on with SCPI command: OUTP ON\n
This would be my only workaround to use directly the SCPI commands for all settings.
The vi which I downloaded uses the function AgE36xx_ConfigureOutputEnabled from the DLL AgE36xx**.dll
Does anyone have the same error, or may be gives me a hint?
I got the solution:
Do not use the Labview drivers from Keysight!
NI has his own Labview driver for the E36100 Series Power Supplys:
Keysight E36100 Series Power Supply - Ethernet, USB Driver for LabVIEW - National Instruments
Works like a charm, also tested for E36102B by NI.
Normally I use the Labview Driver from NI first, if possible, but in this case, I thought why not from Keysight, they are right there to download.
