>> Has anyone put the PWM signals on an o'scope?

I had a buddy measure the PWM 6V line from the RoboRIO (Our team does not have RoboRIO and it was 5.7 volts with a fresh 12V battery. Does this concern anyone for driving several servo motors? What would happen to the 6V line if there are 6 servos running at the same time?

I measured 6.0V on the older cRio. Is there a current limit on the output of each of these RoboRIO PWM 6V (5.7V ) pins? I wanted to make sure I get all the power I need for driving several servos at the same time.

Thanks,
