I want to control a servo motor thru labview. I have the following hardware: servo motor, electro-craft bdc-12, s8vm-15024 cd power supply, NI PCI-7831R, and scb-68 circuit board. I am new to the field, I connected the motor to the amplifier and I have no idea how to connect the amplifier to the circuit board and create a program in labview to control the motor.
I have attached a picture of the setup.
Thank you for your help.

krub,
First things first, read every manual thoroughly. This is really important. You will likely understand things much better after that. Second, you might want to attach the equipment manuals so we don't have to go looking for them and can reference them.
Now to start we need to answer these basic questions:
What version of labview do you have?
What DAQ controllers do you have?
What are the power requirments of the system?
How do you communicate with the motor drive (PWM, serial, analog, ect.)?
