P1AM

P1-04DAL-1

Current Output

This module can output four different signals with variable current.

This example sends the current to be output by the channel as an integer value in counts.

This example sends the current to be output by the channel 1 as an integer value in counts and channel 2 in mA using reals.

int outputCounts = 0;    //variable outputCounts is the output value
				P1.writeAnalog(outputCounts, 1, 2); // Writes to slot 1 channel 2 of the P1-04DAL-1 
base[1][1].value = 1536   #set slot 1 channel 1 to output ~10mA using counts
                    base[1][2].real = 15.0   #set slot 1 channel 2 to output ~15.0mA using reals
