GxPsGetCurrent

Returns the specified channel’s current.

GxPsGetCurrent (nHandle, nChannel, pdCurrent, pnStatus)

Name	Type	Description
nHandle	SHORT	GX7400 slot number.
nChannel	SHORT	Specifies the Channel number from which to get the current: 1 – channel A 2 – channel B
pdCurrent	LPDOUBLE	Returned current. Programmable 0-15V: 0.00A-10.00A Programmable 0-30V: 0.00A-5.00A Programmable 0-60V: 0.00A-2.5A Fixed Module: The measured current at the sense lines.
pnStatus	LPSHORT	Returned status: 0 on success, negative number on failure.

If the specified channel is in standby mode, the returned current is 0.

Programmable modules current resolution is:

0-15V Module: 76/75 µA/step, 0-30V module: 153.5 µA/step, 0-60V module: 305.1 µA/step.

If total power exceeds 150 W (maximum output power), output voltages will drop to satisfy the power limit.

The following example returns the current from channel A.
