Description |
| Instrument_Handle |
ViSession |
Identifies a particular instrument session. You obtain the Instrument_Handle parameter from niDMM_init or niDMM_InitWithOptions. The default is None.
|
| Current_Source |
ViReal64 |
Specifies the Current_Source provided during diode measurements. For valid ranges on the NI 4065, NI 4070, 4071, or 4072, refer to the
NI 4065,
NI 4070,
NI 4071, or
NI 4072 topics. The driver sets
NIDMM_ATTR_CURRENT_SOURCE to this value.
| NIDMM_VAL_1_MICROAMP | 1 µA | NI 4070/4071/4072 only |
| NIDMM_VAL_10_MICROAMP | 10 µA | NI 4070/4071/4072 only |
| NIDMM_VAL_100_MICROAMP | 100 µA | NI 4070/4071/4072 and NI 4065 |
| NIDMM_VAL_1_MILLIAMP (default) | 1 mA | NI 4070/4071/4072 and NI 4065 |
