NI-DCPower (English | Japanese)
Installed With: NI-DCPower

Configures the pulse current level that the device attempts to generate for the specified channel(s) during the on phase of a pulse. The channel must be enabled for the specified current level to take effect.

Refer to the niDCPower Configure Output Enabled VI for more information about enabling the output channel. The pulse current level setting is applicable only if the channel is set to the Pulse Current output function using the niDCPower Configure Output Function VI.

The device actively regulates the current at the specified level unless doing so causes a voltage drop greater than the pulse voltage limit across the channels' output terminals.

Note  This VI is not supported by all devices. Refer to Supported VIs by Device for information about supported devices.

channel name specifies to which output channel(s) to apply this configuration value. Specify multiple channels by using a channel list or a channel range. A channel list is a comma (,) separated sequence of channel names (for example, 0,2 specifies channels 0 and 2). A channel range is a lower bound channel followed by a hyphen (-) or colon (:) followed by an upper bound channel (for example, 0-2 specifies channels 0, 1, and 2). In the Running state, multiple output channel configurations are performed sequentially based on the order specified in this parameter.

pulse current level specifies the pulse current level, in amps, on the specified channel(s).

error in (no error) describes error conditions that occur before this node runs. This input provides standard error in functionality.

status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred before this VI ran or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred before this VI ran. The default is FALSE.

/images/reference/en-XX/help/370736U-01/ci32.gif

code is the error or warning code. The default is 0. If status is TRUE, code is a non-zero error code. If status is FALSE, code is 0 or a warning code.

source describes the origin of the error or warning and is, in most cases, the name of the VI that produced the error or warning. The default is an empty string.

instrument handle out passes the handle used to identify the session in all subsequent NI-DCPower VI calls.
