Channels of this instrument are automatically connected upon entering the Committed state. Channels of most other NI-DCPower instruments are automatically connected upon entering the Running state.

To disconnect the terminals use the niDCPower Output Connected property or the NIDCPOWER_ATTR_OUTPUT_CONNECTED attribute.

Only disconnect the output when it is necessary for your application. For example, a battery connected to the output terminal might discharge unless the relay is disconnected. Excessive connecting and disconnecting of the output can cause premature wear on the relay.
