Voltage Output
You can connect a floating load to your VXI-AO-48XDC module at the
voltage output channel.
Warning
Because the VXI-AO-48XDC module is not electrically isolated from high
voltages, a load with high common mode voltages can damage the
VXI-AO-48XDC module. National Instruments is
not
liable for any damages
resulting from any such signal connections.
Your VXI-AO-48XDC module has a bipolar voltage range of –10.1 to
+10.1 V. Maximum load current is ±10 mA for 16-bit linearity.
Power-up Condition
•
Output voltage at user-defined value to full accuracy within 1 s of
power-up board reset
Current Output
You can connect a floating or grounded load to your VXI-AO-48XDC
module at the current output channel. You do not need an external floating
power supply to complete the controlled current loop. You can control the
current loop from 0.1 to 20.2 mA. The compliance for the current loop is
0 V to 10 VDC.
Warning
Because the VXI-AO-48XDC module is not electronically isolated from
high voltages, a load with high common mode voltages may damage the
VXI-AO-48XDC module. National Instruments is
not
liable for any
damages resulting from any such signal connections.
Power-up Condition
•
Output current: within ±1.1 mA maximum of user-defined current
within 0.5 s of power-up board reset
•
Output current at user-defined value to full accuracy within 7 s of
power-up board reset
