NIDCPOWER_ATTR_RESET_AVERAGE_BEFORE_MEASUREMENT

Specific Attribute

Data type	Access	Applies to	Coercion	High-Level Functions
ViBoolean	R/W	Channel	None	None

Description

Specifies whether the measurement returned from any measurement call starts with a new measurement call or returns a measurement that has already begun or completed.

When you set the NIDCPOWER_ATTR_SAMPLES_TO_AVERAGE attribute in Immediate mode, the output channel measurements might move out of synchronization. While NI-DCPower automatically synchronizes measurements upon the initialization of a session, you can force a synchronization in Immediate mode before you run the niDCPower_MeasureMultiple function. To force a synchronization in Immediate mode, set the NIDCPOWER_ATTR_RESET_AVERAGE_BEFORE_MEASUREMENT attribute to VI_TRUE, and then run the niDCPower_MeasureMultiple function specifying all channels in the channelName parameter. You can set the NIDCPOWER_ATTR_RESET_AVERAGE_BEFORE_MEASUREMENT attribute to VI_FALSE after the niDCPower_MeasureMultiple function completes.

Defined Values:

VI_TRUE	Reset the average before measurement.
VI_FALSE	Do not reset the average before measurement.

Default Value: VI_TRUE
