Where can I find the tutorial or sample Vi to control position and speed of stepper motor?

[iyearning]

Hi all,

I am using a 3rd party driver for a stepper motor and I am using USB6356 as the controller to drive the motor. Could you recommend some sample VI or tutorial about position and speed control of stepper motor?

Thanks

best

I believe what you are looking for is the LabVIEW SoftMotion Module:

Here is a good resource on stepper motor theory:

My other recommendation would be to start from a LabVIEW counter example. These can be found in LabVIEW>help>find examples>Hardware Input and Output>DAQmx>counter input, counter output.
