Automatic Robo Arm

Hello, I'm currently working on code to allow a robotic arm to move its 3 different motors automatically once it reads the input a user types. I currently have it so that it can move manually, but not automatically, through 3 different DQ assistants attached to build arrays and switches, in a while loop. It also reads the arm's current position through a DQ Assistant and displays three different outputs: height, in/out, and rotation, also in a different while loop. Can I get some pointers or example code on how to write part 2 of the code that will read 3 different inputs and move the arm accordingly? Having trouble finding resources.

Robotic programming is always a bit tricky. But my first recommendation would be to actually learn DAQmx programming and forget about those DAQ Assistant Nodes. They are great to begin doing a single task without knowing anything about programming but they quickly detoriate into an uncontrollable mess once you need to do more than one thing simultanously.
