Analog output current limit on USB-6211-OEM

[myoung5051]

The output current drive listed in the specs for this card is +/- 2mA. What happens when you try to exceed this? Is there any damage to the card or does it simply rail out around 2mA. For example if I connect a 1000 ohm load. I'm fine if I output up to 2V (= 2mA), but what happens when I output 3V with the same 1000 ohm load?

Thanks.

The overdrive protection is 2.4 mA which means that you can go up to this current without damaging the card but any current about 2 mA, the Voltage is no longer guarenteed to be within specifications.
