PXI-6229 Digital Output Pins Current Rating

How much current can each of the PXI-6229 Digital Output pins (PX.X) drive without them damaging?

 

Thanks!

Based on the data sheet, I would say 16mA.  There is more to consider, like total current.

Crossrulz, do you mean the total current that the combined bank of all Digital Ouput pins can provide?

Seriously, go read the specification document (do a search for 6229 and you will find it).  It mentions a 24mA limit for each line in P0 and a 16mA limit for all the lines in P1 and P2.  Then there is a 2A limit for all DO lines and the +5V line.
