How to a create a block diagram to control a analog voltage wave from output to a channel

[Frankie-6]

I am looking to create a labVIEW code to generate and control an analog voltage waveform that is to be an input into a motor. Any help on this problem would be amazing. Cheers

OK. What have you tried so far, and what have you looked at? Presumably you have some DAQ hardware. If so, you would have DAQmx installed. DAQmx installs tons of examples. Have you looked at them?

You have a better response if more details are posted. What kind of motor? What hardware are you planning on using? What type of analog voltage wave are you wanting to generate?

I need to generate a sinusoidal analog voltage wave form that is to control a very simple motor. Using a NI USB-6229 DAQ device. I'm fairly new to all this so is there any tutorial that I can refer to that would help me?

Cheers

Look for examples under help-find examples.

Cont Gen Voltage Wfm-Int Clk.vi might be a good one to start with.

I do want to warn you though, the USB-6229 is only able to drive 5mA of current. Most motors will draw more current than this. Be sure that you have a buffer or some type of driver circuit driving your motor. You don't want to blow the driver's in your daq.
