Specifies the current limit, in amps, that the output cannot exceed when generating the desired power level on the specified channel(s).

Syntax

Namespace: NationalInstruments.ModularInstruments.NIDCPower

public double CurrentLimit { get; set; }

Remarks

The valid values for this property are determined by the selected value for LevelRange.

This property is applicable only if the Function property is set to ConstantPower and the ComplianceLimitSymmetry property is set to Symmetric.

The device will operate in Constant Current mode if the current exceeds the specified limit.

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

Note

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