I want to use the ni-usb 6211,to drive a DC motor using a drive circuit,I did'nt find the c++ examples in the cd , don't know how to start

When you have LabWindows/CVI open you can look at the example finder. If you select the USB-6211 this will have examples of c++ code for generating signals from the USB-6211.

 

Typically a DAQ board will not be able to drive a motor because it cannot support the power needed by the motor. Do you have a Motor drive? Is the DC motor a very very small motor requiring very small amounts of current? If this is not the case you will need to buy a Motion controller, Motor drive, and motion software. If you already have an amplifier or drive, it may be possible to use the USB-6211 to control the motor.In this case try those examples and build off of them.
