Hello,

For the PXI-6541, I need to know if each  channel can sink 32mA? Also, what can each channel source using it in open collector mode?

Hi Champ065,

To help our future customers better navigate through our forums to find answers we would like to keep all issues to one thread.  Your question regarding how much the 6541 can sink has been answered here.  The manual doesn't specify the exact amount each channel can sink, however I have double checked with R&D and you will be able to sink 32mA per channel.  The manual does specify the amount you can source from each channel here.  The card can source ±8 mA at 1.8 V, ±16 mA at 2.5 V, and ±32 mA at 3.3 V.

I hope this helps,
Paul C.
