ViStatus niDCPower_ConfigurePulseBiasCurrentLimit(ViSession vi, ViConstString channelName, ViReal64 limit);
Purpose
Configures the pulse bias current limit for the specified channel(s). A channel must be enabled for the specified current limit to take effect.
Refer to the niDCPower_ConfigureOutputEnabled function for more information about enabling the output channel. The pulse bias current limit is the current that the output must not exceed when generating the desired pulse bias voltage level. The pulse bias current limit setting is only applicable if the channel is set to the NIDCPOWER_VAL_PULSE_VOLTAGE output function using the niDCPower_ConfigureOutputFunction function.

Parameters
| Input | ||
| Name | Type | Description |
| vi | ViSession | Identifies a particular instrument session. vi is obtained from the niDCPower_InitializeWithIndependentChannels function. |
| channelName | ViConstString | Specifies the channel(s) to use. Specify the channel(s) using the form PXI1Slot3/0,PXI1Slot3/2-3,PXI1Slot4/2-3 or PXI1Slot3/0,PXI1Slot3/2:3,PXI1Slot4/2:3, where PXI1Slot3 and PXI1Slot4 are instrument resource names and 0, 2, and 3 are channels.
If you pass "" for this control, all channels in the session are used. |
| limit | ViReal64 | Specifies the pulse bias current limit, in amps, on the specified channel(s). The limit is specified as a positive value, but symmetric positive and negative limits are enforced simultaneously. Valid Values: The valid values for this parameter are defined by the pulse current limit range that is configured using the niDCPower_ConfigurePulseCurrentLimitRange function. |
Return Value
| Name | Type | Description |
| Status | ViStatus | Reports the status of this operation. To obtain a text description of the status code, call the niDCPower_error_message function. To obtain additional information concerning the error condition, call the niDCPower_GetError function. |
