NI-DCPower Function Reference

niDCPower_ConfigureSense

ViStatus niDCPower_ConfigureSense (ViSession vi, ViConstString channelName, ViBoolean sense);

Purpose

Specifies whether to use local or remote sensing of the output voltage on the specified channel(s). Refer to the Devices topic specific to your device in the NI DC Power Supplies and SMUs Help to find out more information about sensing on supported channels.

Parameters

Input
Name Type Description
vi ViSession Identifies a particular instrument session. vi is obtained from the niDCPower_init or niDCPower_InitWithOptions function.
channelName ViConstString Specifies to which output channel(s) to apply this configuration value. You can specify multiple channels by using a channel list or a channel range. A channel list is a comma (,) separated sequence of channel names (e.g. 0,2 specifies channels 0 and 2). A channel range is a lower bound channel followed by a hyphen (-) or colon (:) followed by an upper bound channel (e.g. 0-2 specifies channels 0, 1, and 2). In Immediate mode, multiple output channel configurations are performed sequentially based on the order specified in this parameter.
sense ViInt32 Specifies local or remote sensing on the specified channel(s).

Defined Values:
