Nova,

Since you have a PXI-7344, it should have come with the NI-Motion driver. Is that something that you have installed currently? If not, you can find the latest version here. To learn how to programmatically control a stepper motor, you might want to start off by taking a look at some of the examples that come with LabVIEW. To access them, open up LabVIEW, then go to Help >> Find Examples...

Using the Browse by Task option, expand the Hardware Input and Output folder, and then the Motion Control folder. Here you will find many examples that you can examine to learn her to program your motion control application.
