ForceCurrentMeasureVoltage(ISemiconductorModuleContext, string[], double, double, double, double)

Forces the specified DC current on all pins and/or pin groups specified, waits the specified amount of settling time, and then measures the voltage on those pins and publishes the results to TestStand. Note that the voltage measurements are published separately for each pin, regardless of if a pin group is provided, using the following Published Data Id: Voltage. Both DCPower and Digital PPMU pins are supported. Both the settlingTime and apertureTime inputs are expected to be provided in Seconds. By default the apertureTime input is set to -1, which will cause this input to be ignored and the device will use any pre-configured aperture time set by a proceeding set, such as the Setup NI-DCPower Instrumentation step. The absolute value of voltage limit will be applied symmetrically (i.e if voltageLimit = 1, the output voltage will be limited between -1V and +1V). An exception will be thrown if the specified limit value is outside the high-end of the voltage limit range for any of the mapped instruments. For Digital PPMU pins, since the voltage range of the digital pattern instruments is typically not symmetrically (i.e. -2V to 6V), the low-end of the applied voltage limit will be coerced to within range (i.e if voltageLimit = 3, the output voltage will be limited between -2V and +3V).
