IviDCPwr Attribute Value Definitions
The following table defines values for all IviDCPwr class attributes constants.
 |
Note In the following table, the literal string IVIDCPWR_ATTR_ precedes the attribute name and the literal string IVIDCPWR_VAL precedes the value extension name. |
IviDCPwr Attribute Defined Values
| Attribute | Defined Value | Defined Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| CURRENT_LIMIT_BEHAVIOR | CURRENT_REGULATE | 0 | The power supply regulates the output current at the value of the IVIDCPWR_ATTR_CURRENT_LIMIT attribute when the output reaches or exceeds that value. |
| CURRENT_TRIP | 1 | The power supply disables the output when the output current reaches or exceeds the value of the IVIDCPWR_ATTR_CURRENT_LIMIT attribute. | |
| TRIGGER_SOURCE | TRIG_IMMEDIATE | 0 | The power supply does not wait for a trigger before changing the output signal. |
| TRIG_EXTERNAL | 1 | The power supply waits for an external trigger before changing the output signal. | |
| SOFTWARE_TRIG | 2 | The power supply waits for the IviDCPwr_SendSoftwareTrigger function to execute before changing the output signal. If you set the IVIDCPWR_ATTR_TRIGGER_SOURCE attribute to this value, the instrument can only be triggered by calling the IviDCPwr_SendSoftwareTrigger function. |
|
| TRIG_TTL0 | 3 | The power supply waits for a trigger on the TTL 0 line before changing the output signal. | |
| TRIG_TTL1 | 4 | The power supply waits for a trigger on the TTL 1 line before changing the output signal. | |
| TRIG_TTL2 | 5 | The power supply waits for a trigger on the TTL 2 line before changing the output signal. | |
| TRIG_TTL3 | 6 | The power supply waits for a trigger on the TTL 3 line before changing the output signal. | |
| TRIG_TTL4 | 7 | The power supply waits for a trigger on the TTL 4 line before changing the output signal. | |
| TRIG_TTL5 | 8 | The power supply waits for a trigger on the TTL 5 line before changing the output signal. | |
| TRIG_TTL6 | 9 | The power supply waits for a trigger on the TTL 6 line before changing the output signal. | |
| TRIG_TTL7 | 10 | The power supply waits for a trigger on the TTL 7 line before changing the output signal. | |
| TRIG_ECL0 | 11 | The power supply waits for a trigger on the ECL 0 line before changing the output signal. | |
| TRIG_ECL1 | 12 | The power supply waits for a trigger on the ECL 1 line before changing the output signal. | |
| TRIG_PXI_STAR | 13 | The power supply waits for a trigger on the ECL 1 line before changing the output signal. | |
| TRIG_RTSI_0 | 14 | The power supply waits for a trigger on the RTSI 0 line before changing the output signal. | |
| TRIG_RTSI_1 | 15 | The power supply waits for a trigger on the RTSI 1 line before changing the output signal. | |
| TRIG_RTSI_2 | 16 | The power supply waits for a trigger on the RTSI 2 line before changing the output signal. | |
| TRIG_RTSI_3 | 17 | The power supply waits for a trigger on the RTSI 3 line before changing the output signal. | |
| TRIG_RTSI_4 | 18 | The power supply waits for a trigger on the RTSI 4 line before changing the output signal. | |
| TRIG_RTSI_5 | 19 | The power supply waits for a trigger on the RTSI 5 line before changing the output signal. | |
| TRIG_RTSI_6 | 20 | The power supply waits for a trigger on the RTSI 6 line before changing the output signal. | |
Parameter Defined Values
| Parameter | Defined Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| behavior | IVIDCPWR_ATTR_CURRENT_LIMIT | The power supply disables the output when the output current reaches or exceeds the value of the limit parameter. |
| IVIDCPWR_VAL_CURRENT_REGULATE | The power supply regulates the output current at the value of the limit parameter when the output reaches or exceeds that value. | |
| rangeType | IVIDCPWR_VAL_RANGE_VOLTAGE | The range parameter specifies a voltage range. |
| IVIDCPWR_VAL_RANGE_CURRENT | The range parameter specifies a current range. | |
| measurementType | IVIDCPWR_VAL_MEASURE_VOLTAGE | The measurement parameter returns a voltage measurement. |
| IVIDCPWR_VAL_MEASURE_CURRENT | The measurement parameter returns a current measurement. | |
| outputState | IVIDCPWR_VAL_OUTPUT_CONSTANT_VOLTAGE | The inState parameter returns whether the power supply is in the constant voltage state. |
| IVIDCPWR_VAL_OUTPUT_CONSTANT_CURRENT | The inState parameter returns whether the power supply is in the constant current state. | |
| IVIDCPWR_VAL_OUTPUT_OVER_VOLTAGE | The inState parameter returns whether the power supply is in the over voltage state. | |
| IVIDCPWR_VAL_OUTPUT_OVER_CURRENT | The inState parameter returns whether the power supply is in the over current state. | |
| IVIDCPWR_VAL_OUTPUT_UNREGULATED | The inState parameter returns whether the power supply is in the unregulated state. |
