Do i need any extra equipment for triggering​?

[Kindly-Wisher]

Dear all,

I have NI USB-6343 X Series Data Acquisition, I will collect data from loadcell, and according to the specific loadcell value, i will trigger a motor controller(which has also labview drivers), and tell motor controller to stop and go home position,

My questions are indicated below:

1-) Motor controller is connected to PC, DAQ is also connected to PC, but there is no direct connection btw the motor controller and DAQ, should i keep as it is? OR do i need to buy some equipment such as special cable?

2-) Motor is DC motor, but loadcell gives analog signal. So while triggering: Do i need to convert load cell's analog signal to digital signal?

3-) Do you have any labview samples smilar to this?

My all equipments are listed below:

Motor Controller= Newport SMC100CC Single-axis DC motor controller/driver

Motor Linear Stage= Newport MFA-CC Miniature Linear Stage DC motor

DAQ= NI USB-6343, X Series Data Acquisition

Loadcell = Transducer Techniques, GSO-100 (Tension&Compression)

Loadcell Signal Conditioner = Transducer Techniques STAND ALONE / BENCH TOP, 0 to ±10VDC OUTPUT

Thank you ,

Best Regards from Turkey..

I forgot to ask the most important question,

Does every device triggerable? If not how do i understand that my motor controller could be triggered by DAQ ?

Posting the same question to multiple boards is an irritating habit.
