Stepper Outputs
Stepper output resources generate the step pulses required for stepper axis control. They operate like the DAC output in a servo axis.
NI-Motion supports the two industry-standard stepper output configurations: Step and Direction, or CW/CCW pulses. Refer to Configure Stepper Output for more information about these output configurations. The following table lists the resource IDs and constants for stepper outputs:
