Performs the device self-test routine and returns the test result(s). Calling this VI implicitly calls the niDCPower Reset With Channels VI.
When calling niDCPower Self Test with the PXIe-4162/4163, specify all channels of your PXIe-4162/4163 with the resource name input of niDCPower niDCPower Initialize With Independent Channels. You cannot self test a subset of PXIe-4162/4163 channels.
