DCPowerOutputSourceOutputConnected Property
Gets or sets whether the output relay is connected (closed) or disconnected (open). The Enabled property does not change based on this property; they are independent of each other. Set this property to false to disconnect the output terminal from the output.
Namespace: NationalInstruments.ModularInstruments.NIDCPower
Assembly: NationalInstruments.ModularInstruments.NIDCPower.Fx45 (in NationalInstruments.ModularInstruments.NIDCPower.Fx45.dll) Version: 2023
Syntax
public bool Connected { get; set; }
Public Property Connected As Boolean Get Set
Property Value
Type: BooleanThe default value is true.
Remarks
Disconnect the output only if disconnecting is necessary for your application. For example, a battery connected to the output terminal might discharge unless the relay is disconnected. Excessive connecting and disconnecting of the output can cause premature wear on the relay.

| The PXIe-4051 does not have an output relay. For the PXIe-4051, this property specifies whether the input MOSFETs are connected (ON) or disconnected (OFF). |

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

| 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. |
