Hello,
I am a PhD student and and as part of my research, I am looking to program a custom stimulus using MATLAB that interfaces with a rotational chair. The chair controller contains a chair servo amplifier, control logic, safety controls, power switches, and a computer interface. The manufacturer software provides preset sinusoidal acceleration at different frequencies and peak velocities, however, I would like to program a custom motion stimulus using MATLAB that interfaces with this particular controller. I understand that I would most likely need a data acquisition device from National Instruments that communicates with MATLAB and the chair. However, I am unsure which device I should get. Technical information for the chair controller is reflected below:
Chair Controller model 720R-820R
-Linear Servo Amplifier
-Model 720R: 110-130VAC @ 900VA
-Model 820R: 220-240VAC @900VA
Does anyone out there have any insight on which DAQ device I would need to send and receive data to and from the chair controller. Any advice would be extremely helpful.
Thank you in advance.
