Datatype ViReal64
Access R/W
Applies to Channel
Coercion Yes
High-level Functions niDigital_PPMU_ConfigureVoltageLevel

Description:

Specifies the voltage level, in volts, that the PPMU forces to the DUT. This attribute is applicable only when you set the PPMU_OUTPUT_FUNCTION attribute to DC Voltage.

NIDIGITAL_ATTRIBUTE_PPMU_CURRENT_LIMIT

Specific Attribute:

Numeric Value 1150054
Datatype ViReal64
Access R/W
Applies to Channel
Coercion Yes
High-level Functions niDigital_PPMU_ConfigureCurrentLimit

Description:

Specifies the current limit, in amps, that the output cannot exceed while the PPMU forces voltage to the DUT. This attribute is applicable only when you set the PPMU_OUTPUT_FUNCTION attribute to DC Voltage. The PXIe-6570/6571 does not support the PPMU_CURRENT_LIMIT attribute and only allows configuration of the PPMU_CURRENT_LIMIT_RANGE attribute.

NIDIGITAL_ATTRIBUTE_PPMU_CURRENT_LIMIT_RANGE

Specific Attribute:

Numeric Value 1150017
Datatype ViReal64
Access R/W
Applies to Channel
Coercion Yes
High-level Functions niDigital_PPMU_ConfigureCurrentLimit

Description:

Specifies the valid range, in amps, to which the current limit can be set while the PPMU forces voltage to the DUT. This attribute is applicable only when you set the PPMU_OUTPUT_FUNCTION attribute to DC Voltage.

NIDIGITAL_ATTRIBUTE_PPMU_CURRENT_LIMIT_SUPPORTED

Specific Attribute:

Numeric Value 1150055
Datatype ViBoolean
Access R
Applies to Channel
Coercion None
High-level Functions N/A

Description:

Returns whether the device supports configuration of a current limit when you set the PPMU_OUTPUT_FUNCTION attribute to DC Voltage.

NIDIGITAL_ATTRIBUTE_PPMU_CURRENT_LIMIT_BEHAVIOR

Specific Attribute:

Numeric Value 1150064
Datatype ViInt32
Access R/W
Applies to Channel
Coercion None
High-level Functions niDigital_PPMU_ConfigureCurrentLimit

Description:

Specifies how the output should behave when the current limit is reached.

Defined Values:
NIDIGITAL_VAL_CURRENT_REGULATE (3100) Controls output current so that it does not exceed the current limit. Power continues to generate even if the current limit is reached.

NIDIGITAL_ATTRIBUTE_PPMU_CURRENT_LEVEL

Specific Attribute:

Numeric Value 1150019
Datatype ViReal64
Access R/W
Applies to Channel
Coercion Yes
High-level Functions niDigital_PPMU_ConfigureCurrentLevel

Description:

Specifies the current level, in amps, that the PPMU forces to the DUT. This attribute is applicable only when you set the PPMU_OUTPUT_FUNCTION attribute to DC Current.

Specify valid values for the current level using the niDigital_PPMU_ConfigureCurrentLevelRange function.

NIDIGITAL_ATTRIBUTE_PPMU_CURRENT_LEVEL_RANGE

Specific Attribute:

Numeric Value 1150020
Datatype ViReal64
Access R/W
Applies to Channel
Coercion Yes
High-level Functions niDigital_PPMU_ConfigureCurrentLevelRange

Description:

Specifies the range of valid values for the current level, in amps, that the PPMU forces to the DUT. This attribute is applicable only when you set the PPMU_OUTPUT_FUNCTION attribute to DC Current.

NIDIGITAL_ATTRIBUTE_PPMU_VOLTAGE_LIMIT_LOW

Specific Attribute:

Numeric Value 1150021
Datatype ViReal64
Access R/W
Applies to Channel
Coercion Yes
High-level Functions niDigital_PPMU_ConfigureVoltageLimits

Description:

Specifies the minimum voltage limit, or low clamp voltage (V CL ), in volts, at the pin when the PPMU forces current to the DUT. This attribute is applicable only when you set the PPMU_OUTPUT_FUNCTION attribute to DC Current.

NIDIGITAL_ATTRIBUTE_PPMU_VOLTAGE_LIMIT_HIGH

Specific Attribute:

Numeric Value 1150022
Datatype ViReal64
Access R/W
Applies to Channel
Coercion Yes
High-level Functions niDigital_PPMU_ConfigureVoltageLimits

Description:

Specifies the maximum voltage limit, or high clamp voltage (V CH ), in volts, at the pin when the PPMU forces current to the DUT. This attribute is applicable only when you set the PPMU_OUTPUT_FUNCTION attribute to DC Current.

NIDIGITAL_ATTRIBUTE_PPMU_APERTURE_TIME

Specific Attribute:

Numeric Value 1150037
Datatype ViReal64
Access R/W
Applies to Channel
Coercion None
High-level Functions niDigital_PPMU_ConfigureApertureTime

Description:

Specifies the measurement aperture time for the PPMU.

The PPMU_APERTURE_TIME_UNITS attribute sets the units of the PPMU aperture time.

NIDIGITAL_ATTRIBUTE_PPMU_APERTURE_TIME_UNITS

Specific Attribute:

Numeric Value 1150038
Datatype ViInt32
Access R/W
Applies to Channel
Coercion None
High-level Functions niDigital_PPMU_ConfigureApertureTime

Description:

Specifies the units of the measurement aperture time for the PPMU.

Defined Values:
NIDIGITAL_VAL_SECONDS (2100) Specifies the aperture time in seconds.

NIDIGITAL_ATTRIBUTE_PPMU_ALLOW_EXTENDED_VOLTAGE_RANGE

Specific Attribute:

Numeric Value 1150076
Datatype ViBoolean
Access R/W
Applies to Channel
Coercion None
High-level Functions N/A

Description:

Enables the instrument to operate in additional voltage ranges where instrument specifications may differ from standard ranges. When set to VI_TRUE, this attribute enables extended voltage range operation. Review specification deviations for application suitability before using this attribute. NI recommends setting this attribute to VI_FALSE when not using the extended voltage range to avoid unintentional use of this range.

The extended voltage range is supported only for PPMU, with the output function set to DC Voltage. A voltage glitch may occur when you change the PPMU output voltage from a standard range to the extended voltage range, or vice-versa, while the PPMU is sourcing. NI recommends temporarily changing the SELECTED_FUNCTION attribute to Off before sourcing a voltage level that requires a range change.
