How Do I Send Multiple GPIB (or Serial) Commands from Measure?

Primary Software: Other NI Software>>Measure
Primary Software Version: 2.0
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem:
I've got a command string in Measure that contains several commands separated by commas. Whenever I try to output this string to my instrument from Excel using Measure, the first command is received properly by the instrument, but every subsequent comma-delimited command is either met with no response or an "illegal command" message from the instrument. Is there any way to send multiple commands with Measure?

Solution:
In the setup for your GPIB (or Serial) task, make sure that you have the Reset Instrument box unchecked. This way the instrument will be expecting more commands after it receives the first.
