Returns a DCPowerMeasureResult struct that contains arrays of measured voltage and current.

Syntax

Namespace: NationalInstruments.ModularInstruments.NIDCPower

public DCPowerMeasureResult Measure(string channelString)

Remarks

Each call to this method blocks other method calls until the measurements are returned from the device. The order of the measurements returned in the array corresponds to the order on the specified channel(s). The measurement speed of the device and the SamplesToAverage property dictates the length of time that a measurement takes.

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
channelStringstring

Specifies the channels to measure. 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 do not provide channel(s), all channels in the session are used.

Returns

Returns a DCPowerMeasureResult struct that contains arrays of current measurements and voltage measurements.
Note

The measurements in the arrays are returned in the same order as the channels specified in the channel string on which the measurement is done.

Exceptions

TypeDescription
System.ObjectDisposedException

The Measure method was accessed after the associated NIDCPower object was disposed.
