How do I trigger a move from Labview using a 6036E to a 7334 controller for a 7602 stepping motor controller

I want to sychronize data acquistion with a stage motion by triggering the stage from Labview and then starting data acquistion-

Hi. Triggering NI-DAQ from NI-Motion is a "bread and butter" application for National Instruments. In fact, there is an example program in LabVIEW that ships with the NI-Motion driver. It can be found here: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 6.1\examples\Motion\FlexMotion\rtsi.llb The file that you want is called RTSI with DAQ (Breakpoint External Scan Clock).vi. This example will trigger a DAQ sample every time Motion triggers it.

Good Luck!
