I'm assuming you are using an NI-73XX motion control card. If you are using the 733x or 734x, you should be able to use the modulo function. If you are using the 735x card, you should be able to buffer many breakpoints into the onboard buffer. See pages 187-192 of the NI-Motion User manual.
Guy Holland Intralase Corp. -----Original Message----- From: Mihai Costache [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2004 4:33 PM To: 'Info LabVIEW Mailing List' Subject: Motion control and break-points I have a motion control application, where a Hall probe is moving through a magnetic field. The magnets can have quite awkward shapes, hence the intervals between the locations where I need to take measurements are not necessarily evenly spaced spaced along any of the axes. The implication is that I cannot use the "modulo" option to define multiple break-points for triggering my DAQ. Question is: can I define multiple break-points before starting a move, or is it always only one, as in the NI examples?
