IviACPwrDCGeneration Extension Group
The IviACPwrDCGeneration extension group defines extensions for AC power sources capable of producing a DC output.
There are three modes of operation: AC Only, DC Only and AC Plus DC. The mode of operation determines when the Voltage Level property in the IviACPwrBase capability group and the DC Voltage Level property in the IviACPwrDCGeneration capability group are used as shown in the following table.
| DC Mode | Voltage Level (IviACBase) | DC Voltage Level (IviACPwrDCGeneration) |
|---|---|---|
| AC Only | AC RMS voltage | Not used |
| DC Only | Not used | DC voltage |
| AC Plus DC | AC RMS voltage | DC offset |
The IviACPwr Num Ranges [DG] property specifies the number of DC ranges the AC power supply supports. Each DC range supports a minimum and maximum DC voltage. Use the IviACPwr Query DC Capabilities [DG] VI to determine the minimum and maximum DC voltage supported by each range.
Ranges may support unipolar or bipolar voltages. Ranges that support bipolar voltages may not be symmetrical. The IviACPwr DC Voltage Level property must not exceed the minimum and maximum DC voltages supported by the present range.
