IviDCPwr Configure OVP
IviDCPwr Base Capability Group
This VI configures the power supply's overvoltage protection. You specify the overvoltage limit and the behavior of the power supply when the output voltage is greater than or equal to that value.
When the enabled parameter is FALSE, the limit parameter does not affect the instrument's behavior, and the driver ignores the limit parameter.
 |
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 |
 |
enabled (true) Pass whether you want to enable or disable the OVP limit. The driver uses this value to set the IviDCPwr OVP Enabled property. Defined Values: TRUE—Enable OVP limit FALSE—Disable OVP limit Default Value: TRUE |
 |
limit (0.0 V) Pass the overvoltage protection limit you want to use. The driver uses this value to set the IviDCPwr OVP Limit property. Units: volts (V) Default Value: 0.0 V |
 |
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. |
