IviDCPwr Configure Trigger Source
IviDCPwrTrigger Capability Group [TRG]
This VI configures the trigger source to which the power supply responds after you call IviDCPwr Initiate [TRG]. When the power supply receives a trigger signal on the source you specify, it changes its current and voltage outputs.
You configure the triggered current and voltage outputs with the IviDCPwr Configure Triggered Current Limit [TRG] and IviDCPwr Configure Triggered Voltage Level [TRG] VIs.
 |
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 |
 |
source (Immediate) Pass the trigger source to which you want the power supply to respond. The driver sets the IviDCPwr Trigger Source [TRG] property to this value.

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. |
