Yes, if you have a digital card you can
follow this example to perform basic moves with your cDAQ. We will recommend
NI SoftMotion for anything beyond very basic moves. Even then, we will recommend NI SoftMotion for its easy-to-use Express VIs. Keep in mind that if you do choose to use your cDAQ, you will need to consider the following:
- There is no Motion API, so you will be controlling every part of the pulse train yourself (per the above example)
- You will need to provide sufficient power to the motor
- If using feedback, you will need to manually decode the encoder data
