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.
Property | Description |
---|---|
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 |
