Samuel,

are you working with PI stages with integrated drives? In this case a good solution would be the interfacebox C-809 from PI that converts the +-10V signals from the 7344 to PWM signals and provides direct connectivity to NI motion controllers.

Here is the link to the datasheet:
http://www.physikinstrumente.de/pdf/C809_Datasheet.pdf

Even if you are not using a PI drive/stage combination this device could be a good solution. Please refer to the specs of your drive.

For the case that this solution doesn't work for you please send me an email (jochen.klier@ni.com) and I will try to find another way for you.

Best regards,
