Analog feedback

Is there any way to manipulate the analog feedback signal used by a 7354 motion controller within Labview?
I.e. implementing things such as lookup tables, averaging, filtering, etc in the control loop?
 
For instance, for a noisy signal is a hardware filter right at the input to labview the only option?

Cronin,

the 7354 doesn't offer a way to manipulate the feedback signals before they are used in the control loop. The DSP of the board talks directly to the analog inputs so any manipulation would have to be done in the firmware which can't be changed by the end user. If necessary filtering should be done in external signal conditioning hardware.

On the other hand NI offers products to build your own motion controller based on LabVIEW Realtime and (optionally) LabVIEW FPGA hardware. The NI SoftMotion Development Module for LabVIEW gives you the the flexibility to choose from a variety of hardware platforms the best fit for your application. As the trajectory generation and the control loop are running in LabVIEW you can manipulate literally every single piece of the motion controller including the feedback signals and the control algorithm.

Please have a look at this link for more details.

Best regards,
