Hi William,
The maximum continuous current output for the NI 9477 is 20 A total, 1 A per channel. This can be found in the NI 9477 Operating Instructions and Specifications. As explained on page 8 of the manual, channels can be used in parallel if more than 1 A is needed.

Hi William,
Unfortunately there are only specifications for continuous output when using the NI 9477. While, as you have seen, a higher current may be possible for small amounts of time, operation above 1A cannot be guaranteed.
