PPMU Action Group

Starts sourcing voltage or current from the PPMU. This function automatically selects the PPMU function. Changes to PPMU source settings do not take effect until you call this function.

If you modify source settings after you call this function, you must call this function again for changes in the configuration to take effect.

C Function Prototype: ViStatus niDigital_PPMU_Source (ViSession vi, ViConstString channelList)

Parameter Description
vi The specified instrument session the niDigital_init or niDigital_InitWithOptions function returns.
channelList List of channel names or list of pins. Do not pass a mix of channel names and pin names. An empty string denotes all digital pattern instrument channels.

Pin names and pin groups apply to all enabled sites, unless the pin name explicitly specifies the site. You can specify a pin in a specific site using the form siteN/pinName, where N is the site number. This function ignores pins that are not mapped to the digital pattern instrument.

Specify channel names using the form PXI1Slot3/0,2-3 or PXI1Slot3/0,PXI1Slot3/2-3, where PXI1Slot3 is the instrument resource name and 0, 2, 3 are channel names. To specify channels from multiple instruments, use the form PXI1Slot3/0,PXI1Slot3/2-3,PXI1Slot4/2-3. The instruments must be in the same chassis.

Return value: Reports the status of the operation.
