Properties

NameDescription
CurrentLimit

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.

CurrentLimitAutorange

Gets or sets whether or not NI-DCPower automatically selects the current limit range based on the desired current limit for the specified channels.

CurrentLimitHigh

Gets or sets the current limit high, 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 Asymmetric. The channel must be enabled for the specified current limit high to take effect. Refer to the Enabled property for more information about enabling the channel.

CurrentLimitLow

Gets or sets the current limit low, 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 Asymmetric. The channel must be enabled for the specified current limit low to take effect. Refer to the Enabled property for more information about enabling the channel.

CurrentLimitRange

Gets or sets the current limit range, in amperes, for the specified channel(s). The range defines the valid value to which the current limit can be set. Use the CurrentLimitAutorange property to enable automatic selection of the current limit range. The CurrentLimitRange property is applicable only if the DCPowerSourceOutputFunction property is set to DCVoltage. 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.

VoltageLevel

Gets or sets the voltage level, in volts, that the specified channel(s) attempt to generate. This property is applicable only if the DCPowerSourceOutputFunction property is set to DCVoltage.

Note

A channel must be enabled for the specified voltage level to take effect. Refer to the Enabled property for more information about enabling the channel.

VoltageLevelAutorange

Gets or sets whether or not NI-DCPower automatically selects the voltage level range based on the desired voltage level for the specified channels. If this property is set to On, NI-DCPower ignores any changes you make to the VoltageLevelRange property. If you change the DCPowerSourceVoltageLevelAutorange property from On to Off, NI-DCPower remembers the last value the VoltageLevelRange property was set to (or the default value if the property was never set) and uses that value as the voltage level range. Query the VoltageLevelRange property by getting the property value to find out which range NI-DCPower automatically selects. The DCPowerSourceVoltageLevelAutorange property is applicable only if the DCPowerSourceOutputFunction property is set to DCVoltage.

VoltageLevelRange

Gets or sets the voltage level range, in volts, for the specified channel(s). The range defines the valid values to which the voltage level can be set. Use the DCPowerSourceVoltageLevelAutorange property to enable automatic selection of the voltage level range. The VoltageLevelRange property is applicable only if the DCPowerSourceOutputFunction property is set to DCVoltage. The channel must be enabled for the specified voltage level range to take effect. Refer to the Enabled property for more information about enabling the channel.
