@JeffB418 @Carlos Hi guys, I'm looking to make a small remote panel with 4 small status LED's driven by the 0-10V outputs from the Hydros. The LED's I sourced have built in current limiting resistors designed for 12.0V operation. I've measured the LED's current draw at 10.0V (using an external variable power supply) to be 4.3 mA, and they're plenty bright for my purposes at that voltage. Given how low that current demand is, I'm hoping I can drive the LED's directly at 10.0V from one 0-10V output pin per LED without having to use a MOSFET or BJT in the middle of things. Hoping someone can tell me what the rated output current is for the 0-10V output pins, don't want to do anything stupid with an expensive device that has a very important job to do! Thanks in advance!
 
They can source or sink 15 mA, so that should be fine. There is a 10 ohm protection resistor in series with each output that will drop your voltage a small amount so you won't actually get 10 V, more like 9.93.
