DAQ6510 Display when using rear terminals under GPIB control

I am using a DAQ6510 stuffed with 7701 + 7707 boards in an ATE application. Everything works as expected but I cannot find how to have the meter display show the resistance values measured via the 7707 board. Please note that the measurements happen as and when expected and are the correct values returned to my control code - my only issue is that they are not display on the DAQ6510 screen at the point they are taken.

How do I display these readings?

Thanks.

Hello Dave,
Are you operating via front panel or remotely and sending commands? If remote, which command set are you using (TSP or SCPI)?
If using remote communication, you may need to add some display commands to specify what you want displayed on the front panel during data acquisition.

Sorry for the delay, I've been out of office.

For reasons too long to go into here, it is operated remotely via PC running a VB6 application (I know, I know)!

Set up is -
 
            Set DAQ6510 = New KeithleyDMM6500            
            DAQ6510.Initialize "GPIB0::" & CStr(18) & "::INSTR", True, True, ""
            .
            .
            DAQ6510.Function = KeithleyDMM6500Function4WireResistance

Read command is -

           
            ResistanceMeasurement1 = DAQ6510.Measurement.Measure(KeithleyDMM6500Function4WireResistance, String1, String2)

As I said, the reading is taken as expected but the Meter display does not show the measured value, which I had expected.

Is there a setting change or a command change I need to make to make this happen?

Dave.

Dave,
Visit the link below for examples on multi-channel scanning in VB (third option down) as this may give you an idea. You may want to utilize the scan.monitor.channel TSP command to display a specific channel which you could implement for various channels.

Did you close the channel?
For the reading that is placed in the buffer, what channel tag does it have?

My .NET code from prior post does cause the front panel to update the watch channel measured value.

On the instrument, in the event log settings, you can enable command logging.  This will let you see exactly what the IVI driver commands are sending to the DAQ.

If still not working, check your firmware level.  I'm at 1.7.12b

 

Code is now correctly displaying the values on the front panel display - Thankyou!&#160;<br> <br> Elsewhere in the program I was adjusting the 7707 backplane switches independently (216 &amp; 217) which mean that the readings in the buffer were tagged with &quot;Rear&quot; rather than the channel number. Tidying up the other code to leave channels 201 &amp; 202 as 4W channels sorted it out - the buffer now show 201 &amp; 202 tags as expected and the values are display full size on the front panel.<br> <br> Thanks again.
