Is there an NI module that can drive a pump at 320 mA?

Solved!

Hi

I have to design a cuff that extracts the blood pressure waveform from a patient's wrist.  The pump that I have to use to pressurize the cuff needs to be driven by an NI module(a part of the Signal Conditioning Circuit maybe?). The pump that I found that does work needs 320 mA to be driven. Is there a module that could provide that kind of current? Where can I find that amount of current that these modules can provide? 

Thank you very much in advance for any help!

What kind of motor it has? servo, stepper or DC? They have very different drivers. I guess you can test with a motor driver IC to start with. There are plenty if you do a google search.

Hey Mukul,

 

What sort of signal are you looking for? It sounds like what you are looking for is a power supply for your pump. Is that correct? If this is the case, a DIO device may not really be what you are interested in. There are a few power supply options within the PXI form factor that you may be interested in (PXI-4130). However, I am not sure this is quite what you are looking for. Perhaps a better description of what type of device and signal you are looking for would be helpful. 

Hope this helps.
-Ben
