IviACPwr Ramp Current [CR] VI

IviACPwrCurrentRamp Capability Group

This VI starts a linear current ramp from a starting and ending current, in amps, for a duration in seconds. Call the IviACPwr Query Current Ramp Busy [CR] VI to determine when the ramp completes or call the IviACPwr Abort Current Ramp [CR] VI to stop the current ramp.

IviACPwr Ramp Current [CR]

cdbl.gif Start Current Specifies the power source's starting output current in amps.

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

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 Note  You can specify the output phase name as a string variable or as a literal enclosed in double quotes.
cdbl.gif Duration Specifies the duration of the current ramp in seconds.

Default Value: None
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 End Current Specifies the power source's ending output current in amps.

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.
