PXI-4110 Read current configuration

Hi,

 

Is is possible to query the I & V set points from the 4110 3-channel modular power supply?

 

 

Thanks,

Brent

Indeed there is. I'm assuming you're using LabVIEW. You just need to get the NI-DCPower property node and choose your destiny as pictured below.

To query Current level, you would choose "DC Current" instead of "DC Voltage". You can query anything that you can program, plus a few more things that don't show up in the palette VIs.

 

I hope that helps!

Thanks Mark!

 

Mia culpa - I didn't indicate my environment.

 

 

I am in CVI & .NET. 

 

I see functions for querying limits, but not set points.

I shall publically admit my weakness for text-based programming. However, I believe that you're not finding what you're looking for because functions are analogous to VIs and attributes are analogous to properties. So in your case, try using the attribute "NIDCPOWER_ATTR_VOLTAGE_LEVEL" OR "NIDCPOWER_ATTR_CURRENT_LEVEL".

I'm crossing my fingers. Let everyone know how that works out for you, and if you need more help I'll try to get it. Smiley Happy
