Hi there, I am using the GPIB-USB-HS to control programmable power supplies. I require the power supplies to stay running in order to maintain stable temperatures of the coils they are powering, and have been facing issues when the computer controlling the supplies restarts with Windows updates, and automatically sets two of the four power supplies to zero output. if this happens over night, or on a weekend, the coils cool down and they take many hours to again reach stable temperatures, holding up our work.
It seems that in Windows 10 you cannot disable updates entirely so I have, to the best of my ability, restricted updates as much as possible however it still can catch us out.
My question is this, can I set the GPIB unit to send a particular message on Windows boot to set the supplies to a predetermined value, or is there a setting I can adjust that disables the GPIB unit initializing everything as zero on startup?
Thanks very much
