Duty Cycle
The duty cycle is based on the average current flow compared to the
full-scale current flow value. To approximate the duty cycle, estimate
the average current consumption in relation to its maximum range. For
example, if an AO channel’s current averages 12 mA:
Duty Cycle = Average mA output
÷
Maximum mA Output = (12
÷
20) = 0.60
