Specifies whether to use local or remote sensing of the output voltage on the specified channel(s).

Refer to the Devices topic specific to your device in the NI DC Power Supplies and SMUs Help for more information about sensing voltage on supported channels.

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.

  • ci32.png sense —

    sense specifies local or remote sensing on the specified channel(s).

    The default value is Local (1008) if the device supports local sense. Otherwise, the default and only supported value is Remote (1009).

    Local (1008)

    Local sensing
    Remote (1009)

    Remote sensing
  • 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.
