How move servo from analog input signal (gearing)?

Hi,
im using the PCI-7344 with VisualBasic and Measurement Studio. How can I initialize the device to move with the analog signal from ADC4. The analog signal can be from -10 to 10V. A few month ago, i tried the same, but i lost the code and the motor moves so that the analog signal goes to 0V. But i want to say : "move that the analog signal (for example) is 0.7 V".
Can you help me,
Examples in VB or C++ are welcome...
One example was "One-Axis Move.c" but i didn't found it on ni.com any more.
Best regards
Stephan

Hi Stephan,

Essentially you need to use gearing and have your slave axis be geared to an analog signal. This way, your motion can track an analog signal that's coming in on one of the ADCs.

The attached file is an example written in C for how this is done. This should help you out.
