can the AT-MIO-16E-1 output a given current ?

[jtoronyi]

i was just wondering if i am able to output a specified current level by using the analog outputs, with my DAQ

The analog outputs on the AT-MIO-16E-1 are setup for voltage, but you could set generate a related current with external circuitry. This is not a trivial task. If you need to source current, I would recommend using the NI-6704 or a signal conditioning solution. More details about the 6704 board can be found at:

The signal conditioning solution I would recommend would be the 5B39. More details about the 5B modules can be found at:

If you have SCXI as an option, the SCXI-1124 is a 6 channel voltage/current output (individually configurable, 0-20 mA).
