IviDCPwr Configure Current Limit
IviDCPwr Base Capability Group
This VI configures the current limit. You specify the output current limit value and the behavior of the power supply when the output current is greater than or equal to that value.
 |
instrument handle The instrument handle that you obtain from the IviDCPwr Initialize or IviDCPwr Initialize With Options VI. |
 |
channel name ("CHANNEL 1") Pass the virtual channel name that you assign to the instrument in MAX.
Virtual channel names are aliases for instrument specific channel strings. The instrument specific channel strings can differ from one instrument to another. Virtual channel names allow you to use and swap instruments without having to change the channel names in your source code. You assign a virtual channel name to an instrument specific channel through MAX. This control accepts virtual channel names you have assigned to the specific instrument you are using. It also accepts the instrument specific channel names. Default Value: CHANNEL 1 |
 |
behavior (regulate) Pass the behavior you want the power supply to exhibit when the output current is greater than or equal to the value of the limit parameter. The driver uses this value to set the IviDCPwr Current Limit Behavior property.
Defined Values: IVIDCPWR_VAL_CURRENT_REGULATE—Regulatory limit IVIDCPWR_VAL_CURRENT_TRIP—Trip limit Default Value: IVIDCPWR_VAL_CURRENT_REGULATE |
 |
limit (0.0 amps) Pass the current limit you want to use. The driver uses this value to set the IviDCPwr Current Limit property. Units: amps Default Value: 0.0 |
 |
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 IviDCPwr Initialize or IviDCPwr Initialize With Options VI. |
 |
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. |
