Description

Specifies the voltage level range, in volts, for the specified channel(s). The range defines the valid values to which the voltage level can be set. Use the NIDCPOWER_ATTR_VOLTAGE_LEVEL_AUTORANGE attribute to enable automatic selection of the voltage level range.

The NIDCPOWER_ATTR_VOLTAGE_LEVEL_RANGE attribute is applicable only if the NIDCPOWER_ATTR_OUTPUT_FUNCTION attribute is set to NIDCPOWER_VAL_DC_VOLTAGE.

The channel must be enabled for the specified voltage level range to take effect. Refer to the NIDCPOWER_ATTR_OUTPUT_ENABLED attribute for more information about enabling the output channel.

Valid Values:

NI PXI-4110

ChannelVoltage Level Range (V)Voltage Level (V)
060 to +6
1200 to +20
2200 to -20

NI PXI-4130

ChannelVoltage Level Range (V)Voltage Level (V)
060 to +6
16-6 to +6
20-20 to +20
Note Note   If a range other than what is listed in the preceding table is selected, it will be coerced to the next-highest level. For example, requesting the 10 V voltage level range on Channel 1 on the NI-PXI 4130 coerces the voltage level range to 20 V. Refer to the Ranges topic in the NI DC Power Supplies and SMUs Help for more information about coercion.
