IviACPwr Configure Current Protection [CP] VI

IviACPwrCurrentProtection Capability Group

This VI configures current protection. When the Current Protection Enabled input is True, the power source enters the current protection state (tripped) and disables the output when the output current exceeds the current threshold for the current delay time.

When the Current Protection Enabled input is False, the threshold and delay do not affect the behavior of the instrument and current protection is disabled.

IviACPwr Configure Current Protection [CP]

cdbl.gif Threshold Specifies the current threshold that triggers over current protection. The driver uses this value to set IviACPower Current Protection Threshold [CP] property.

Default Value: None
cstr.gif Phase Name ("") Specifies the name of the output phase to configure.

Pass the virtual output phase name that you assign to the instrument in the IVI Configuration utility.

Virtual output phase names are aliases for instrument-specific output phase strings, which can differ from one instrument to another. With virtual output phase names, you can use and swap instruments without having to change the output phase names in your source code. Assign a virtual output phase name to an instrument-specific output phase through the IVI Configuration utility. This control accepts virtual output phase names you have assigned to the specific instrument you are using and also accepts the instrument-specific output phase names.

Default Value: "" Note: You can specify the output phase name as a string variable or as a literal enclosed in double quotes.
cio.gif instrument handle The instrument handle that you obtain from the IviACPwr Initialize or IviACPwr Initialize With Options VIs. The handle identifies a particular instrument session.

Default Value: None
cbool.gif Current Protection Enabled (True) Enables or disables current protection. The driver uses this value to set IviACPwr Current Protection Enabled [CP] property.

Valid Values:
TRUE - Enables the current protection.
FALSE - Disables the current protection.

Default Value: True
cerrcodeclst.gif error in (no error) The error in cluster can accept error information wired from VIs previously called. Use this information to decide if any functionality should be bypassed in the event of errors from other VIs.

The pop-up option Explain Error (or Explain Warning) gives more information about the error displayed.
cdbl.gif Delay Specifies the time the output current must exceed the over current protection threshold until over current protection is triggered. The driver uses this value to set IviACPwr Current Protection Delay [CP] property. Unit: second

Default Value: None
iio.gif instrument handle out The instrument handle that you obtain from the IviACPwr Initialize or IviACPwr Initialize With Options VIs.
ierrcodeclst.gif error out The error out cluster passes error or warning information out of a VI to be used by other VIs.

The pop-up option Explain Error (or Explain Warning) gives more information about the error displayed.
