Sorensen/Ametek Power Supply Does Not Supply Power When Commanded Via GPIB (IEEE488.2)

I'm commanding a Sorensen/Ametek SGe Series DC Power Supply via GPIB (IEEE488.2) using NI MAX. My write and query commands all seem to work but no power turns on. When the unit is commanded manually (locally) in the same  configuration it works.

 

The unit remote/local switch is in remote mode, 

I'm using the correct GPIB Address.

 

Here's an example string of commands that seemingly works despite no power actually coming on:

Query *IDN?

Response Sorensen SGe...
Query *RST
Query *CLS
Query *SYST:LOCAL?
Response 0
Write OUTP:STAT 0
Query OUTP:STAT?
Response 0
Query SYST:ERR?
Response No Error
Write SOUR:VOLT 12.0
Write SOUR:CURR:LIM 10.0
Query SOUR:VOLT?
Response 12.0
Query SYST:ERR?
Response No Error
Write OUTP:STAT 1
Query OUTP:STAT?
Response 1
Query MEAS:VOLT?
Response 0.28
Query MEAS:CURR?
Response 0.0
Query SYST:ERR?
Response No Error
Query SYST:FAUL?
Response 0, 0, 0, 0

No Errors or faults are reported and the output when queried says it is on with the commanded voltage, however no power comes out/or is measured.
