Enables or disables generation on the specified channel(s).

Depending on the selected output function, the corresponding level properties or Output Resistance must be set in addition to enabling the output to generate the desired level. For more information about configuring the output level, refer to the niDCPower Configure Output Function VI.

Note If a channel is in the Uncommitted state, enabling the output does not take effect until you call the niDCPower Initiate With Channels VI.
Note NI-DCPower uses the terms "source" and "output". However, while sinking with electronic loads and SMUs these correspond to "sinking" and "input", respectively.

Inputs/Outputs

  • civrn.png instrument handle —

    instrument handle identifies a particular instrument session.

  • cstr.png channel name —

    channel name specifies to which channel(s) to apply this configuration value. Specify the channel(s) using the form PXI1Slot3/0,PXI1Slot3/2-3,PXI1Slot4/2-3 or PXI1Slot3/0,PXI1Slot3/2:3,PXI1Slot4/2:3, where PXI1Slot3 and PXI1Slot4 are instrument resource names and 0, 2, and 3 are channels.

    If you do not wire this parameter, all channels in the session are used.

  • cbool.png output enabled —

    output enabled specifies whether the channels are enabled or disabled.

    true Enables generation on the specified channel(s).
    false Disables generation on the specified channel(s). This parameter has no effect on the output disconnect relay. To toggle the relay, use the Output Connected property.

    The default value is true if you use the niDCPower Initialize With Independent Channels VI to open the session. Otherwise the default value is false, including when you use a calibration session.

  • cerrcodeclst.png error in (no error) —

    error in describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.

  • iivrn.png instrument handle out —

    instrument handle out passes the handle used to identify the session in all subsequent NI-DCPower VI calls.

  • ierrcodeclst.png error out —

    error out contains error information. This output provides standard error out functionality.
