# BoardConfig.GetDACForceSense() method

Returns the remote sensing state of an analog output channel.

Member of the cBoardConfig class. Accessible from the MccBoard.BoardConfig property.

## Function Prototype

VB .NET

Public Function SetDACForceSense(chan As Integer, ByRef configVal As Integer) As MccDaq.ErrorInfo

C# .NET

public MccDaq.ErrorInfo SetDACForceSense(int chan, out int configVal)

## Parameters

chan

The analog output channel number.

configVal

The remote sensing state; 0 = disabled, and 1 = enabled.

## Returns

- An ErrorInfo object that indicates the status of the operation.

## Remote sensing

The remote sensing feature compensates for the voltage drop error that occurs in applications where the analog outputs on a device are connected to its load through a long wire or cable type interconnect.

The remote sensing feature utilizes the force and sense output terminals on a supported device. Refer to the device hardware manual for more information.
