Measures and returns an NILCRMeasurement array of LCR data on the specified channel(s).

Syntax

Namespace: NationalInstruments.ModularInstruments.NIDCPower

public NILCRMeasurement[] MeasureLCR(string channelString)

Remarks

To use this method:

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

Note

This method is not supported by all instruments. Refer to the Supported Functions by Device topic in the NI DC Power Supplies and SMUs Help for information about supported instruments.

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 NILCRMeasurement array. 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.
