USB-6501 as Stepper Motor Drive

[sullivnc]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use the USB-6501 to drive a stepper motor.  I need a 0-5 V open collector type signal.  I've attached my DAQmx Base and VI screenshots below.  Is there a way to test whether or not I got this right?  I can't plug in the motor drive to test at my desk, it takes a very high voltage.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

Hello sullivnc,

To test your task you could create a Digital Read task using your USB-6501 and read with it the value you are writing.

Also if you have a Voltmeter you could measure the value you get at the output.

I hope this helps.
