Enums¶

Enums used in NI-DCPower

ApertureTimeUnits¶

class nidcpower.ApertureTimeUnits¶

SECONDS¶: Specifies aperture time in seconds.

POWER_LINE_CYCLES¶: Specifies aperture time in power line cycles (PLCs).

AutoZero¶

class nidcpower.AutoZero¶

OFF¶: Disables auto zero.

ON¶: Makes zero conversions for every measurement.

ONCE¶: Makes zero conversions following the first measurement after initiating the device. The device uses these zero conversions for the preceding measurement and future measurements until the device is reinitiated.

ComplianceLimitSymmetry¶

class nidcpower.ComplianceLimitSymmetry¶

SYMMETRIC¶: Compliance limits are specified symmetrically about 0.

ASYMMETRIC¶: Compliance limits can be specified asymmetrically with respect to 0.

DCNoiseRejection¶

class nidcpower.DCNoiseRejection¶

SECOND_ORDER¶: Second-order rejection of DC noise.

NORMAL¶: Normal rejection of DC noise.

Event¶

class nidcpower.Event¶

SEQUENCE_ENGINE_DONE¶

PULSE_COMPLETE¶

READY_FOR_PULSE_TRIGGER¶

MeasureWhen¶

class nidcpower.MeasureWhen¶

AUTOMATICALLY_AFTER_SOURCE_COMPLETE¶: Acquires a measurement after each Source Complete event completes.

ON_DEMAND¶: Acquires a measurement when the nidcpower.Session.measure() method or nidcpower.Session.measure_multiple() method is called.

ON_MEASURE_TRIGGER¶: Acquires a measurement when a Measure trigger is received.

MeasurementTypes¶

class nidcpower.MeasurementTypes¶

CURRENT¶: The device measures current.

VOLTAGE¶: The device measures voltage.

OutputCapacitance¶

class nidcpower.OutputCapacitance¶

LOW¶: Output Capacitance is low.

HIGH¶: Output Capacitance is high.

OutputFunction¶

class nidcpower.OutputFunction¶

DC_VOLTAGE¶: Sets the output method to DC voltage.

DC_CURRENT¶: Sets the output method to DC current.

PULSE_VOLTAGE¶: Sets the output method to pulse voltage.

PULSE_CURRENT¶: Sets the output method to pulse current.

OutputStates¶

class nidcpower.OutputStates¶

VOLTAGE¶: The device maintains a constant voltage by adjusting the current

CURRENT¶: The device maintains a constant current by adjusting the voltage.

Polarity¶

class nidcpower.Polarity¶

HIGH¶: A high pulse occurs when the event is generated. The exported signal is low level both before and after the event is generated.

LOW¶: A low pulse occurs when the event is generated. The exported signal is high level both before and after the event is generated.

PowerSource¶

class nidcpower.PowerSource¶

INTERNAL¶: Uses the PXI chassis power source.

AUXILIARY¶: Uses the auxiliary power source connected to the device.

AUTOMATIC¶: Uses the auxiliary power source if it is available; otherwise uses the PXI chassis power source.

PowerSourceInUse¶

class nidcpower.PowerSourceInUse¶

INTERNAL¶: Uses the PXI chassis power source.

AUXILIARY¶: Uses the auxiliary power source connected to the device. Only the NI PXI-4110, NI PXIe-4112, NI PXIe-4113, and NI PXI-4130 support this value. This is the only supported value for the NI PXIe-4112 and NI PXIe-4113.
