My computer (with parts of my code) sitting on the the actual Solar Array Simulator that will output the current and voltage that I tell it to

For the second week of my internship, I really dove into the bulk of my project, although I still have quite a bit more to do. Right now I am still working on my code for the simulator. I have created the section of my code that outputs the different levels of current and voltage depending on the angle, but now I need to create a serial interface that will communicate my outputs to a Agilent E3450B Solar Array Simulator (SAS). It is proving to be quite challenging, for I am having to teach myself how to create this interface. I have not yet gotten the SAS to respond to my commands, but I am continuing to try different alternatives to my code. After I create this part of my program, the last part of my internship will be consisting of creating the Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the simulator.
