The NI Motion Assistant speeds up the development and testing of motion applications by providing an easy-to-use interactive environment. You can convert any application developed using the NI Motion Assistant to C code or NI LabVIEW VIs for final machine deployment, eliminating the need for any additional programming. The NI Motion Assistant offers the ability to import motion profiles created in CAD or drafting packages using the widely accepted DXF file format. Using this feature with the NI patent-pending smart-contouring algorithm, you can implement precise motion profiles for cutting or scribing applications.
The NI Motion Assistant works with National Instruments plug-in motion controllers for blended trajectory control and fully coordinated circular, linear, point-to-point, gearing, and vector-space control. It offers a smart-contouring functionality with an API that you can call from C, Visual Basic, or LabVIEW. Smart contouring is useful in metal working and CNC-type applications for which the machine needs to trace a different contour every time.

Extended Warranties
National Instruments designs and manufactures all products to minimize failures, however unexpected failures can still occur. Extended warranties provide a fixed economical price at the time of system purchase, covering any repair costs for up to three years. In addition, they offer the following benefits:
Significant cost savings compared to individual repair incidents
Fault location, diagnostics, and repair by NI any time the system product fails
All parts and labor costs covered as well as any adjustments needed to restore the hardware to manufacturing specifications
NI recognizes the need to maintain properly calibrated devices for high-accuracy measurements. NI provides manual calibration procedures, services to recalibrate your products, and automated calibration software to calibrate many NI measurement products.
Return your registered product under warranty at no additional labor and parts cost. NI offers fault location, diagnostics, and repair any time the system fails as well as any adjustments needed to restore the hardware to manufacturing specifications.
