on board program

[Ya-hoo]

Using Labview 7.1, PCI 7342, what are the advantage and disadvantage of using on board program and program in host computer? If using on board program, is the motion controller a stand alone or PCI/PXI type?

Thanks.

Can onboard program is programmed with Labview? Seems all onboard program is in C, VB or CVI.

Thanks.

Yes you can use LabVIEW to do on-board programming. The tutorial in my post above has links for VI's in LabVIEW that demonstrate how to perform Do-While loops, For loops, and other functionality. I've included a document with this post that goes into more detail of on-board programming with LabVIEW.
