USB 6008 Current

The manual:  http://digital.ni.com/manuals.nsf/websearch/7781F8E689519ED786257411006FB09F 

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but under "Analog Output" it says that output current drive is 5mA, and output range is 0 to +5V. Does this by any chance mean that the analog output can be used as a fairly constant current source, as long as the load is such that the applied voltage doesn't exceed 5V? I ask because I am interested in using RTDs with this device (I found it lying around, and it would be very convenient if I could get this to work), and since this device only measures voltages I need a reliable current source. 

Thank you/

The 6008 analog outputs are not constant current, they will supply whatever current the load sinks, up to 5mA.
