niDCPower_ConfigureVoltageLimit

ViStatus niDCPower_ConfigureVoltageLimit (ViSession vi, ViConstString channelName, ViReal64 limit);

Purpose

Configures the voltage limit for the specified channel(s). The channel must be enabled for the specified voltage limit to take effect. Refer to the niDCPower_ConfigureOutputEnabled function for more information about enabling the output channel.

The voltage limit is the voltage that the output should not exceed when generating the desired current level. The voltage limit setting is applicable only if the channel is set to the NIDCPOWER_VAL_DC_CURRENT output function using the niDCPower_ConfigureOutputFunction function.

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.
limit	ViReal64	Specifies the voltage limit, in volts, on the specified output channel(s). Valid Values: The valid values for this parameter are defined by the voltage limit range that is configured using the niDCPower_ConfigureVoltageLimitRange function.

Return Value

Name	Type	Description
Status	ViStatus	Reports the status of this operation. To obtain a text description of the status code, call the niDCPower_error_message function. To obtain additional information concerning the error condition, call the niDCPower_GetError function.
