DC Current:Current Level Range
Short Name: Current Level Range
Specifies the current level range, in amps, for the specified channel(s). The range defines the valid values to which the current level can be set. Use the Current Level Autorange property to enable automatic selection of the current level range.
The Current Level Range property is applicable only if the Output Function property is set to DC Current.
The channel must be enabled for the specified current level range to take effect. Refer to the Output Enabled property for more information about enabling the output channel.
Valid Values:
| Channel | Current Level Range | Current Level |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 1 A | +0.01 to +1 A |
| 1 | 20 mA | +0.20 to +20 mA |
| 1 A | +0.01 to +1 A | |
| 2 | 20 mA | -0.20 to -20 mA |
| 1 A | -0.01 to -1 A |
NI PXI-4130
| Channel | Current Level Range | Current Level |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 1 A | +0.02 to +1 A |
| 1 | 200 μA | +4 to +200 μA and -4 to -200 μA |
| 2 mA | +0.04 to +2 mA and -0.04 to -2 mA | |
| 20 mA | +0.40 to +20 mA and -0.40 to -20 mA | |
| 200 mA | +4 to +200 mA and -4 to -200 mA | |
| 2 A | +0.04 to +2 A and -0.04 to -2 A |
 |
Note If a range other than what is listed in the preceding table is selected, it will be coerced to the next-highest range. For example, requesting the 100 mA current level range on Channel 1 on the NI-PXI 4130 coerces the current level range to 200 mA. Refer to the Ranges topic in the NI DC Power Supplies and SMUs Help for more information about coercion. |
