With USB-6001 and DAQmx, how many channels should I create in labview?

[macole1703]

I am a new Labview user. I try to control a stepper motor with USB-6001. It is bipolar stepper motor. I don't understand about DAQmx. If I want to control rotation direction of the motor and its rotation number, How many channels should I add in my diagram? This is what I draw as controlling the motor.... Please help me.

Hi macole1703,

Getting a spec sheet for the motor may ensure we guide you in the right direction with how to control it.  Additionally, I would recommend adding a DAQmx Start Task to your program.

This guide provides information on how to use the basic DAQmx functions.  You may find it useful in improving your understanding of the DAQmx functions.
