Gets or sets the merge channel(s) to combine with a designated primary channel of an instrument in order to increase the maximum current you can source from the instrument.

Syntax

Namespace: NationalInstruments.ModularInstruments.NIDCPower

public string MergedChannels { get; set; }

Remarks

Set this property on the primary channel only, and pass the merge channels as the value of this property.

Refer to the Merged Channels topic in your instrument user manual for more information about using merged channels.

Note

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

Note

This property is not supported by all instruments. Refer to the Supported Properties by Device topic in the NI DC Power Supplies and SMUs Help for information about supported instruments. Devices that do not support this property behave as if no channels were merged.

The default value is "" for all devices as if no channels were merged.
