IviACPwr Query DC Capabilities [DG] VI
This VI returns the minimum and maximum DC voltages that the power source can generate for the specified range. Typically, the user calls the IviACPwr Configure DC Range [DG] VI with the min and max voltages they want to use and it automatically selects the best range. The only time the IviACPwr Query DC Capabilities [DG] VI would be useful is to eliminate unnecessary range changes by allowing the user to know the range boundaries in advance. The IviACPwr Range Min [DG] and IviACPwr Range Max [DG] properties return the min and max voltage of the present range.
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 |
|
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. |

Range Specifies the DC range to query. This number must be from 1 to the values returned by the IviACPwr Num Ranges [DG] property.
Default Value: None |
|
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. |
|
instrument handle out The instrument handle that you obtain from the IviACPwr Initialize or IviACPwr Initialize With Options VIs. | |
Minimum Returns the minimum DC voltage the power source can generate. | |
Maximum Returns the maximum DC voltage the power source can generate. | |
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. |
