## Phidget Motor Velocity Controller.lvlib:MotorVelocityControllerSetSurgeCurrentLimit.vi

The `MotorVelocityControllerSurgeCurrentLimit` allows for increased performance from your motor. The controller will limit the current through your motor to the `MotorVelocityControllerSurgeCurrentLimit` briefly, then scale current down to the `MotorVelocityControllerCurrentLimit`.

- View `MotorVelocityControllerActiveCurrentLimit` for information about what current limit the controller is actively following.

| Device In Device # Identification

| error in (no error) error in can accept error information wired from VIs previously called.

| status status is TRUE (X) if an error occurred or FALSE (checkmark) to indicate a warning or that no error occurred. Right-click the error in control on the front panel and select Explain Error or Explain Warning from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.

| code code is the error or warning code. Right-click the error in control on the front panel and select Explain Error or Explain Warning from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.

| source source describes the origin of the error or warning. Right-click the error in control on the front panel and select Explain Error or Explain Warning from the shortcut menu for more information about the error.
