Using the PXI-6541 I/O: What is it's max current one of the I/Os can sink?

I have a PXI-6541 I/O card, and I am planning to use it in an open collector mode. But before I do that I need to know how much current it can sink. I looked throug the user manual, and I could only find the source current for the I/Os. If someone could provide me with this information that would be great.

Hi Champ065,

The PXI 6541 can sink 32mA per channel or a total of 1A.  This is the current drive located on the PXI 6541 product page.  Just click the specification tab to view more information on this card.

I hope this helps!
