C Function Prototype

ViStatus IviDCPwr_ConfigureTriggeredCurrentLimit (ViSession vi, ViConstString channelName, ViReal64 limit);

Purpose

This function configures the current limit the power supply attempts to generate after it receives a trigger.

Parameters

Name Type Description
vi ViSession The instrument handle that you obtain from the IviDCPwr_init or IviDCPwr_InitWithOptions functions. The handle identifies a particular IVI session.
channelName ViConstString Pass the virtual channel name that you assign to the instrument in MAX.

Virtual channel names are aliases for instrument specific channel strings. The instrument specific channel strings can differ from one instrument to another. Virtual channel names allow you to use and swap instruments without having to change the channel names in your source code. You assign a virtual channel name to an instrument specific channel through MAX. This control accepts virtual channel names you have assigned to the specific instrument you are using. It also accepts the instrument specific channel names.

Note  You can specify the channel name as a string variable or as a literal enclosed in double quotes.
limit ViReal64 Pass the current limit you want the power supply to use after it receives a trigger. The driver sets the IVIDCPWR_ATTR_TRIGGERED_CURRENT_LIMIT attribute to this value.
