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. |
Depending on the instrument, output resistance is configurable only if you set the DCPowerSourceOutputFunction enumeration of the channel as follows:
- PXIe-4141, PXIe-4143, PXIe-4145: DCVoltage
- PXIe-4135, PXIe-4137, PXIe-4139, PXIe-4147: DCVoltage or DCVoltage
Valid values vary by instrument. Refer to the instrument specifications or the Programmable Output Resistance topic for your instrument for more information about supported values.

Using the MergedChannels property to merge instrument outputs affects the valid output resistance range you can program. Refer to Effect of Merging Channels on Other Functions and Properties in the NI DC Power Supplies and SMUs Help for details. |
