C Series Module Properties Dialog Box for the NI 9478 (FPGA Interface)

Right-click an NI 9478 C Series module in the Project Explorer window and select Properties from the shortcut menu to display this dialog box.

Use this dialog box to configure a C Series module.

This dialog box includes the following components:

• Name—Specifies the name of the C Series module, which appears in the Project Explorer window. LabVIEW assigns a default name to the module based on the slot number. You can use this field to give the module a descriptive name.
• Module Type—Specifies the type of C Series module. You cannot change this option.
• Location—Specifies a slot in the chassis for the C Series module.
• Channels—Specifies the channel(s) for which you want to select the active current limit.
• Selected Channel(s) Settings—Specifies the active current limit for each channel.
  • Active Limit—Sets the active current limit for the selected channel(s). Select Limit A if you want to set the active current limit for the channel(s) to Current Limit A. Select Limit B if you want to set the active current limit for the channel(s) to Current Limit B. Select No Limit if you want the channel(s) to have no current limit.
• Module Settings—Specifies the current limit threshold settings for the module.
  • Current Limit A—Sets the current limit threshold for Current Limit A in amperes. Valid values are 0–5.1 A.
  • Current Limit B—Sets the current limit threshold for Current Limit B in amperes. Valid values are 0–5.1 A.
  • Enable Overcurrent Refresh—Place a checkmark in this checkbox if you want to enable a channel to automatically recover if the channel exceeds its active current limit threshold. If overcurrent refresh is disabled, the channel remains off after an overcurrent condition until you write to the channel using an FPGA I/O Node.
  • Overcurrent Refresh Period—Sets the time in µs it takes a channel to automatically recover if the channel exceeds its active current limit threshold. Valid values are 20–2550 µs. This option is available only if you select Enable Overcurrent Refresh.
