Remarks


This attribute is applicable only if the NIDCPOWER_ATTR_OUTPUT_FUNCTION attribute is set to NIDCPOWER_VAL_CONSTANT_RESISTANCE and the NIDCPOWER_ATTR_COMPLIANCE_LIMIT_SYMMETRY attribute is set to NIDCPOWER_VAL_COMPLIANCE_LIMIT_SYMMETRY_SYMMETRIC.

Note

The channel must be enabled for the specified current limit to take effect. Refer to the NIDCPOWER_ATTR_OUTPUT_ENABLED attribute for more information about enabling the channel.

Note

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

Note

NI-DCPower uses the terms "source" and "output". However, while sinking with electronic loads and SMUs these correspond to "sinking" and "input", respectively.

Valid Values:

The valid values for this attribute are determined by the selected value for NIDCPOWER_ATTR_CONSTANT_RESISTANCE_LEVEL_RANGE.
