Remarks


When this attribute is set to VI_TRUE, the instrument will simulate a short circuit across the channel/input terminals. The electronic load uses the maximum rated current and range to simulate the short circuit. This attribute will only take effect when both NIDCPOWER_ATTR_OUTPUT_ENABLED and NIDCPOWER_ATTR_OUTPUT_CONNECTED are VI_TRUE.

When this attribute is set to VI_FALSE, the instrument will resume normal operation based on its existing settings on the specified channel(s).

Note

This attribute is not supported by all instruments. Refer to Supported Attributes by Device for information about supported instruments.

Defined Values:

VI_FALSE (0)

The input of the instrument does not simulate a short circuit.

VI_TRUE (1)

Default Value:

Refer to Supported Attributes by Device for the default value by device.
