Queries the specified channel to determine if the channel is currently in the state specified by output state.

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 the channel to query. The output state can be queried for only one channel at a time.

    Specify the channel using the form PXI1Slot3/0, where PXI1Slot3 is the instrument resource name and 0 is the channel.

  • cu16.png output state —

    output state specifies the output state of the channel that is being queried.

    The default value is Constant Voltage (0).

    Constant Voltage (0)

    The channel is maintaining a constant voltage at its output.
    Constant Current (1)

    The channel is maintaining a constant current at its output.
    Inhibited (1163)

    The channel is in the inhibited state.
  • 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.

  • ibool.png in state? —

    in state? returns whether the specified channel is in the specified output state.

  • ierrcodeclst.png error out —

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