Configures the voltage limit for the specified channel(s). The channel must be enabled for the specified voltage limit to take effect.

Refer to the niDCPower Configure Output Enabled VI for more information about enabling the channel. The voltage limit is the voltage that the output should not exceed when generating the desired current level. The voltage limit setting is applicable only if the channel is set to the DC Current output function using the niDCPower Configure Output Function 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.

  • cdbl.png voltage limit —

    voltage limit specifies the voltage limit, in volts, on the specified channel(s).

    The limit is specified as a positive value, but symmetric positive and negative limits are enforced simultaneously.

    The valid values for this parameter are defined by the voltage limit range that is configured using the niDCPower Configure Voltage Limit Range VI.

  • 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.
