GtDio6xPowerSupplyGetVoltageRails

Applies To

GX5961, GX5964

Purpose

Returns the programed high-powered chassis power supply VCC and VEE voltage levels.

Syntax

GtDio6xPowerSupplyGetVoltageRails (nHandle, pdVcc, pdVee, pnStatus)

Parameters

Name
Type
Comments
nHandle
SHORT
Session identifier:

     Board handle is used when communicating with the hardware. The Board handle session identifier is returned by calling GtDio6xInitialize or GtDio6xSetupInitialization.

dVcc
PDOUBLE
Returns the positive voltage rail level. The dVcc may be between 10V to +28V. The maximum voltage swing between VCC and VEE may not exceed 33.5 V.
dVee
PDOUBLE
Returns the positive voltage rail level. The Vee voltage must may not exceed 18V and must not be less than 3V. The maximum voltage swing between VCC and VEE may not exceed 33.5 V.
pnStatus
LONG
Returned status: 0 on success, negative value on failure.

Comments

The Marvin Test Solutions Gx7015A and Gx7005A high-powered chassis include a built in, user programmable power supply system. They use a special backplane to deliver high-power to the GX5055 pin electronics via the J5 PXI connector. The power supply is made up of two VCC high rail modules, one VEE low rail module, and one VDD module.

The GX5961 and GX5964 are capable of controlling these modules by setting their voltages, and monitoring their voltage and current output.
