Measure Operation

Channels Tab

The Channels tab contains a list control with the default channels for the selected logical name. Use the Add and Remove buttons to add new channels and remove existing channels from the list. You can specify whether the power supply measures the output for the channel enabling the channel in the list control.

The Channels tab for the Measure operation also contains the following channel-specific options:

• Name —The name of the channel to read. The channel name must be a valid virtual channel name as the IVI configuration for the logical name being used defines.
• Measurement Type —The type of data to retrieve from the oscilloscope.

  Supported Value	Description
  Current (0)	Indicates the current is measured at the output terminals.
  Voltage (1)	Indicates the voltage is measured at the output terminals.

• Measurement Destination —A variable or property to which the step assigns the measurement value. The data type of the variable or property must be Number or NI_IviSinglePoint. The default configuration for the step specifies Step.Result.Reading as the destination. This property is an array of container, and the size of the array is equal to the number of channels specified for the Measure operation. When you edit the step, the step automatically resizes the array.
  Note If you do not specify Step.Result.Reading as the destination, TestStand copies the measurement value to the Data subproperty in each array element at run time.
