Gets or sets the current limit, in amperes, for the output not to exceed when generating the desired voltage level on the specified channel(s). This property is applicable only if the DCPowerSourceOutputFunction property is set to DCVoltage and the DCPowerComplianceLimitSymmetry property is set to Symmetric. 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.

Syntax

Namespace: NationalInstruments.ModularInstruments.NIDCPower

public double CurrentLimit { get; set; }

Remarks

The valid values for this property are defined by the values you specify for the CurrentLimitRange property.

Note

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