DIODE_USB4065

Download Flojoy Studio to try this app

Sets the measurement mode to diode voltage for a NI USB-4065 DMM. Also optionally reads the selected unit. You can also use the READ_USB4065 block to read the selected unit in a separate block. Requires a CONNECTION_USB4065 block to connect Flojoy to the instrument. The USB-4065 is a NI (National Instruments) multimeter. It is possible that the block will work with other NI DMMs (digital multimeters) such as the 4070 and 4080 series. This instrument will likely only be compatible with Windows systems due to NI driver availablity. To use the instrument you must install the runtime: https://www.ni.com/en/support/downloads/drivers/download.ni-dmm.html Params: NI_address : NIConnection The NI instrument. digits : select The number of digits for the measurement. Lower values are faster. voltage_limit : select The maximum voltage to allow, in Volts. read : bool Read the selected unit, or not. Returns: out : DataContainer Scalar: The diode voltage reading.
