pxi 4130 current range error

[M_Analog_U]

Hi, 

I'm trying to configure PXI - 4130, with labview.

DC Volt and range set to 1.5V - no error.

Current limit and range set to 200uA, 2mA and 20mA - getting the following error.

The error tells that i'm not setting the right range - which is not true. Also, Property: Current Limit Corresponding Value:  100.0e-3 . In fact this is 2mA itself in the VI. 

Tried with the VI in llb as well as NI DC Power property node.

Confused !! Please help.

Hi Manu,

What version of the DC Power driver are you working with? Are you explicitly setting both the Current Limit and the Current Limit Range in your VI? If you open up the Example Finder (Help>>Find Examples) you can locate the DC Power Examples (Hardware Input and Output>>Modular Instruments>>NI-DCPOWER) and I would recommend that you open up and try running the example titled "NI-DCPower Source DC Voltage.vi". This example will configure the SMU to source a DC voltage for the configured current limit and current limit range. If properly configured, this VI should run without errors and can be used as guide for writing your VI.

Thanks Steve, i was not using the abort and initiate VIs before doing the range setting.
