ServoOutputScaling Parameter

Default Value: 1.0

Minimum Value: 0.001

Maximum Value: None

Units: Amps/Volt

Type: float

HARDWARE: This parameter applies only when used with the iXI4 or the XI4.

Use the ServoOutputScaling parameter to define the current scaling for an external amplifier when used with the iXI4 or the XI4. This parameter should be set to the quantity of current that is generated by your amplifier for a 1 Volt current command input.

The iXI4 and the XI4 can generate a maximum output of 10 Volts. Thus, you must use the MaxCurrentClamp Parameter to prevent the drive output from exceeding the maximum input voltage of your amplifier. The peak output voltage to the amplifier is determined by the equation that follows.
