Property Value
Type: DCPowerPowerAllocationModeRemarks
When this property configures NI-DCPower to perform a sourcing power check, a device is not permitted to source power in excess of its maximum per-channel or overall sourcing power. If the check determines an output configuration or power request would require the device to do so, NI-DCPower returns an error.
When this property does not configure NI-DCPower to perform a sourcing power check, a device complies with requests to source power in excess of its maximum per-channel or overall sourcing power and may shut down to prevent damage.
