feedback for PXI 7344 motion

Hi,
 
I use the PXI 7344 to control a wave paddle in our wave flume.
We make regular and irregular waves.
At this moment I use a timed loop to update the position of the paddle 40 times per second (loop time 25 ms).
I use a linear interpolation between the current and the next position.
The reason for not using the contoured move is as follows:
We have also a active wave absorption system programmed into our controller. It uses 2 analog input of the PXI 7344 and calculates a correction/feedback for the wave paddle.
Therefor the movement of the paddle is not predetermined and cannot be predicted.
I would like to use the contoured move to generate a smoother motion of the paddle.
Is there a way to correct the motion during the exection of a contoured move (like the analog feedback) but then programmatically (by a calculated value ) ?
 
Thanks,
 
Tom
