Merged Channels

Nevermind, I found this document, Cascading the Outputs.

 

"Merging channels of an NI SMU allows you to use multiple channels in unison to increase the current you can source beyond the normal maximum for any one channel of the SMU."

Does the PXIe-4130 support merging channels like the PXIe-4138/39 or  PXIe-4147/4148 ?

DCPower driver 20.0.0 does not support merging, but now NI DCPower 20.6 support merging.  The PXIe-4130 is not called out in the Readme NI DCPower 20.6.

PXIe-4130 does not support merging of channel and/or output resistance of channels. Just a basic regular PS.

Is there a way to prevent the output of the PXIe-4130 from lathing OFF whenever the current reaches the limit of 2A?  In other words, I don't want the PS SMU is cut off power when the current limit is reached.
