Axis & Resource Configuration VIs

NI-Motion VI

Axis & Resource Configuration VIs

These VIs give you access to some of the most powerful features of NI-Motion. They allow you to map encoder, ADC, and DAC resources to various axes, configure axes for servo or stepper control, and combine axes into 2D and 3D vector spaces for advanced motion control applications.

These axis and resource configuration VIs are typically executed one time during system initialization. You can call most of them at any time to reconfigure the motion control system on-the-fly. All of the Axis & Resource Configuration VIs have default values that provide good starting points for many motion control applications.
