Data Sheet

With the National Instruments PCI-7342 board, you can configure two axes for stepper or servo motor control while taking advantage of linear interpolation, 32 bits of digital I/O for high-speed capture, and the RTSI bus for powerful real-time integration. When configured as a servo motor controller, this motion control card offers a 62.5 micro second update rate per axis and special auto tuning functions in software. This low-cost, high-performance board is ideal for 2-axis, automated test applications in a range of industries, including biotechnology and semiconductor.
