Detailed Description

Configure and control the FlexSense Power Out interface.

The FlexSense Power Out can supply DC power at 5V, 12V or 24V. The maximum Current supported on this interface is 25mA

Warning

To maximise the battery life of your FlexSense, we recommend initialising and de-initialising the Power Out interface each time the job using it is called. This will reduce the idle power usage of your FlexSense.
