I figured as much. In that case, one would need to set the current high enough to reliably kick-start the relay coil but low enough not to burn up the coil.? Assuming that's possible. May not always be.....? ? ? ? ? ?Jim

Jim,
HP uses a mechanically latched relay in the 8593E and others. But, the drive circuit is not an impulse type. The current is continuous, and leads to excess dissipation in the coils. Details here:?/g/HP-Agilent-Keysight-equipment/topic/31717125#96700
