Configuring the card for output type
The analog output channels default to voltage outputs. To configure them as
current outputs:
channel.setmode('1010', channel.MODE_CURRENT_1)
NOTE
MODE_CURRENT_1 specifies 0-20 mA and MODE_CURRENT_2
specifies 4-20 mA.
To reconfigure the analog output as a voltage output:
channel.setmode('1010', channel.MODE_VOLTAGE_1)
NOTE
The analog output channels can only operate in one mode at a time.
Specify either voltage output or current output.
The outputs default to being disabled. To enable them:
channel.setoutputenable('1010', channel.ON)
Once the channel is enabled, any values written to the channel are seen on the
output pins. To disable the outputs:
channel.setoutputenable('1010', channel.OFF)
