How to calibrate analog out voltage of ni-7344 in Labview?

[AB.C]

HI,

I have NI-7344 motion control card. I have limit the DAC output to +-5V from MAX software. Now the issue is how to calibrate the counts to voltage? I don't find any setting for lets say 1000 counts is +5v and -5V in opposite direction. The 500 counts should be 2.5V. 

Kindly help or suggest examples for this.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I am asking "How can I use NI MAX to calibrate this output. Because I am using Ni motion assistant and the value saturates at +-5V but does not translate to my complete range".

Why don't you just use the count number as an input to calculate the voltage and write that on the output?

I have limited output to +-5V from NI MAX. For different range of inputs it keeps on giving 5V as out. Which means it is saturated on 5V. While I want to calibrate my output to +-5V that is from my range of inputs should b availabe with 5V.

Why don't you do this programmatically from LabVIEW?

Hi,

I am new to labview, still learning. So I thought Motion Assistant and NI MAX will be easier to first test the outputs/hardware and then move to labview. Can you suggest good examples or tutorials for learning motion controller programming in labview?
