Making a voltage/current measurement with DC power module

[ZhuoCao]

hi Guys:

I have a general question on power module programming as I am new, this is with regards to making a single point voltage current measurement in either voltage or current source mode.  From a working example as shown below, can you advise if there are ways to make measurement without always having to set the voltage, current ranges and limits?  I tried to strip the example apart and modularize just the measurement portion without success.

Hello ZhuoCao,

I am not sure if you don't want to set up a configuration for voltage or current output and just want to take measurements. With our Power modules we are taking measurements of the system we supply power to which is why we set up the output configuration before taking measurements. If you want to take measurements in a while loop so you can see how things change over time then you can look at NI-DCPower Measure Record.vi in the DC Power folder of NI Example finder. I hope this helps!
