Details
Use this command to remove a channel from a test. It is useful when there needs to be one less
channel for a pulse test that already exists. You can use it to remove a channel from a long-term
reliability test while allowing other channels to continue running.
Use the
voltage
and
state
parameters to remove a channel from a test that is running. Use the
voltage
parameter to set the output voltage. For example, you may want to set the output voltage to
zero (0) when removing the channel. Use the
state
parameter to connect or disconnect the channel.
The output relay for the PMU is shown in the 4225-PMU block diagram in
(on page 5-1).
When you remove a channel from a test that is not running, the
voltage
and
state
parameters are
ignored.
Example
pulse_remove(PMU2, 1, 0, 0);
This example removes channel 1 for PMU2, sets the voltage to 0 V, and opens the output relay.
