Solid-State Relay Outputs (NI 6528 Only)
The solid-state relay (SSR) output channels on the NI 6528 device consist
of an LED and two MOSFETs that are connected to form a bi-directional
switch. Depending on how the load is connected to the terminals, an output
can either source or sink current.
Figures 6 and 7 show examples of sinking and sourcing current.
