--- Quote from: dxl on June 29, 2014, 06:53:49 am ---Those are not Queries, you need to just write them to the unit with NI-VISA. There are different buttons in VISA: Write, Read, Query. I think there should also be no space between the "pitbull" password and the firmware version number. It's just one string concatenated as password. --- End quote --- I tried them as writes also and no space between pitbull and firmware version. But just to be clear, are you saying each of these lines should be performed as individual write commands and no status is ever read at the end or return results from any of the lines. Just all lines as blind writes then at the end close the VISA and check with powerflex if the options have been enabled? What about the "Set Parameters" and "Code: " lines are those also supposed to be issued as writes or are those return results? I will try them all as writes and see what happens, but I thought I did that and got an error returned at some point.

Attempted it verbatim to the posted instructions. Issued "blind" writes, but at the end checked with poweflex and no options installed. The TLA7N4 goes as high as 4M memory and 200Mhz. I used 4096 for memory depth and 200 for speed. I will try so other numbers like 4M to see if that works.

OK, these commands give status that makes sense- 6/29/2014 10:29 AM 45.238 0.0084s WIN-330I86GF26R SYST:CONF:SPEED?

I'll give that a go. Speed is still stuck at 100mhz state though. Will issue the speed command again. |

What does a "SYST:ERR?" Query show after the Password command? |
