pulse_dc_output
This command selects the DC output mode and sets the voltage level.
Usage
int pulse_dc_output(int instr_id, long chan, double dcvalue);
instr_id
The instrument identification code of the pulse card, such as VPU1 or VPU2
chan
Channel number of the pulse card:
1
or
2
dcvalue
DC voltage output value (in volts, range and load dependent):
• 5 V range: −5 to +5
• 20 V range: −20 to +20 (50 Ω load)
•
Default: N/A
Pulse modes
Standard
Details
You can set each pulse card channel to output a fixed DC voltage level instead of pulses.
The maximum and minimum output voltage is range dependent. See pulse_vhigh and
pulse_vlow for details.
The pulse_vlow, pulse_vhigh, and pulse_dc_output commands set the voltage value
output by the pulse channel when it is turned on (using pulse_output). If the output is already
enabled, these commands change the voltage level immediately, before the pulsing is started with a
pulse_trig command.
Example
pulse_dc_output(VPU1, 1, 10)
Selects channel 1 DCV output and sets voltage to +10 V.
