Re: Controlling a stepper motor with LabVIEW?

See the problem is, you need something to output the pulse train.

Right now I'm using LabVIEW to write an acceptance test for a stepper
motor, but I'm using a Galil servo/stepper PCI card in the computer,
connected to an Anaheim Automation stepper driver, which outputs the
pulse train.

LabVIEW can generate a pulse train, but it has to be able to tell some
piece of harware to actually output that signal.  As falkpl was
saying, you can use LabVIEW as the interface to something like a
stepper driver, but you need the hardware to do the work of outputting
the highs and lows.
