Specifies whether the input of the instrument simulates a short circuit.

When this property is set to TRUE, the instrument will simulate a short circuit across the channel/input terminals. The electronic load uses the maximum rated current and range to simulate the short circuit. This property will only take effect when both NIDCPOWER_ATTR_OUTPUT_ENABLED and NIDCPOWER_ATTR_OUTPUT_CONNECTED are TRUE. When this property is set to FALSE, the instrument will resume normal operation based on its existing settings on the specified channel(s).

Note This property is not supported by all instruments. Refer to Supported Properties by Device for information about supported instruments.
