You can route events on most NI-DCPower instruments. NI-DCPower includes specific events you can use in tandem with triggers to coordinate actions across channels of an instrument and across instruments.

  • Source Complete—Generated by a channel when a sourcing operation, plus any configured source delay, is completed.

    In Single Point source mode, this event is generated whenever the source configuration is modified plus the associated source delay.

    In Sequence source mode, this event is generated after each step of the sequence plus the associated source delay for the step.

    The amount of configurable delay you can add depends on your instrument.

  • Sequence Iteration Complete—Generated in Sequence source mode once all steps in a single iteration of a sequence are completed.

    One event is generated per iteration of the sequence. For example, if the sequence is configured to loop ten times on a channel, the channel generates ten events.

  • Sequence Engine Done—Generated in Sequence source mode once all iterations of a sequence are completed.
  • Measure Complete—Generated when a measurement, plus any configured measure delay, is completed.

    The amount of configurable measure delay you can add depends on your instrument.

  • Ready for Pulse Trigger—Generated in Sequence source mode for any step after the first step of a sequence iteration once the pulse off time elapses to indicate the channel is waiting to receive a Pulse trigger before the channel will apply the pulse level.
  • Pulse Complete—Generated once a pulsing operation, plus any configured source delay, is completed.

    In Single Point source mode, this event is generated whenever the source configuration is modified plus the associated pulse bias delay.

    In Sequence source mode, this event is generated after each step of the sequence plus the associated pulse bias delay for the step.
