scxi 1520 excitation current specs?

[cb34]

In p. A-3 of the scxi 1520 manual, for the excitation specs there, it says:

"Max. operating current in all ranges - 29 mA"

Is this for the whole SCXI 1520 or just for each channel? Because I need for each channel 5V with 1.6 mA supply. That means for all channels, about 12.8 mA.

Can the SCXI 1520 support this?

Please help me on this. Thanks!

Dear cb34,
Thank you for choosing National Instruments Support!

The SCXI 1520 Module has the operating current range of 29 mA per CHANNEL and not for the whole board. So, You are in good shape to use the system that you have because 1.6 mA per channel is well below the limits that you would need.


Thanks and Regards
