What is the current limit in amperes of the scxi1520 inputs?

I would like to know how the maximum current that the scxi1520 module inputs can take?

Hi,

The maximum current that the SCXI-1520 can sink is about 20nA. This is because the operating range is 20V and the source impedance is 1 gigaohm. This makes sense since current has a much easier path to ground on a wheatstone bridge than it does going into the 1520.

IS that 20 milliAmps or nanoAmps?

That would be 20 nanoamps. This module was not designed to sink hardly any current.
