niDCPower Configure Output Function

Configures the function the device attempts to generate for the specified channel.

Details

	channel name 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.
	output function configures the function to generate for the specified channel(s). DC Voltage Sets the output function to DC voltage. DC Current Sets the output function to DC current. Default Value: DC Voltage
	error in (no error) describes error conditions that occur before this VI runs. status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI ran. The default is FALSE. code is the error or warning code. The default is 0. If status is TRUE, code is a negative error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code. source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.
	instrument handle out passes the handle used to identify the session in all subsequent NI-DCPower VI calls.
	error out contains error information. If error in indicates that an error occurred before this VI ran, error out contains the same error information. Otherwise, it describes the error status that this VI produces. status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred. code the error or warning code. If status is TRUE, code is a non-zero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code. source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI that produced the error or warning.

Details

When DC Voltage is selected, the device generates the desired voltage level on the output as long as the output current is below the current limit. The following VIs can be used to configure the channel when DC Voltage is selected:

When DC Current is selected, the device generates the desired current level on the output as long as the output voltage is below the voltage limit. The following functions can be used to configure the channel when DC Current is selected:
