Curent measurement via usb 6211 - needed advice

[Deakin_user2013]

Dear LabVIEw users...

Needed some help about info on USB 6211 specifications.

If I generated an AC signal e.g. sine or square wave (max/min = +/- 10V; offset=0), what is the max current produced by the AO DAQ NI USB 6211? Is it 2mA??

Is there a limit (or range) on the current values I wanted to measure through AI channel? 

Thanks a lot. 

I am trying to generate an AC signal to an electromagent for actuation purposes and I am not sure if USB 6211 could produce enough current for this purpose. I may need to amplify the output AC signal. 

Looking forward to receive some good advice from you guys..

Thanks.

1. Yes, AO current limit is 2mA.

2. There's no current limit define for AI, but you should not directly feed current into it, since it's designed for voltage. Please consider measure voltage across resistance and translate it back to current.
