Configures the current level range for the specified channel(s).

The configured range defines the valid values that the current level can be set to using the niDCPower Configure Current Level VI. The current level range setting is applicable only if the channel is set to the DC Current output function using the niDCPower Configure Output Function VI.

Use the Current Level Autorange property to enable automatic selection of the current level range.
