I like to write instrument state data to data files so that there is a record of instrument settings with the data. The instrument I have does not have query functions for most of its settings, nor a learn string, or anything else. The only solution that I can see is to initialize the instrument, then keep a running record of all commands that the controller sends. Any thoughts on the best way to implement this? Would it be appropriate to tag this info into the error string and pull it out when exiting the VI? Are there any examples of dealing with this problem.
Thanks
