NI USB-6501 5V Current

Hello,

The data sheet for USB-6501 indicates that the max current for the 5V output is 230ma. Does anyone know if the max current is 230ma for each 5V output(there are 2) or is it 230ma total?

 

Thanks,

The 5V External is provided through the USB bus power.  The power is routed to both of them so the Amperage will be aggregate.
