DAQmx Switch Channel Properties

Use the DAQmx Switch Channel properties to modify the usage of a switch channel and to query the capabilities of a switch channel.

PropertyDescription
Active Switch Channel Specifies the switch channel to which the subsequent properties apply. Details
Usage Specifies how you can use the channel. Using this property acts as a safety mechanism to prevent you from connecting two source channels, for example. Details
Capability:Max AC Carry Current Indicates in amperes the maximum AC current that the device can carry. Details
Capability:Max AC Switching Current Indicates in amperes the maximum AC current that the device can switch. This current is always against an RMS voltage level. Details
Capability:Max AC Carry Power Indicates in watts the maximum AC power that the device can carry. Details
Capability:Max AC Switching Power Indicates in watts the maximum AC power that the device can switch. Details
Capability:Max DC Carry Current Indicates in amperes the maximum DC current that the device can carry. Details
Capability:Max DC Switching Current Indicates in amperes the maximum DC current that the device can switch. This current is always against a DC voltage level. Details
Capability:Max DC Carry Power Indicates in watts the maximum DC power that the device can carry. Details
Capability:Max DC Switching Power Indicates in watts the maximum DC power that the device can switch. Details
Capability:Max AC Voltage Indicates in volts the maximum AC RMS voltage that the device can switch. Details
Capability:Max DC Voltage Indicates in volts the maximum DC voltage that the device can switch. Details
Capability:Wire Mode Indicates the number of wires that the channel switches. Details
Capability:Bandwidth Indicates in Hertz the maximum frequency of a signal that can pass through the switch without significant deterioration. Details
Capability:Impedance Indicates in ohms the switch impedance. This value is important in the RF domain and should match the impedance of the sources and loads. Details
