Hi All,
I'm using a cRIO-9056 with a NI 9403 module (digital inputs and outputs) to generate a square wave for driving a stepper motor. The stepper motor can read pulses of widths down to microseconds, but on my hardware, I seem to be limited to about a quarter of a second before the pulse becomes inconsistent.
I wanted to check if my method for generating the pulse in labview was optimal or if there is a better way to generate this pulse. In the attached picture, the wire coming into N holds the number of pulses we need out of the system (this relates to how far the motor needs to move). Then I have used a for loop repeating on and off outputs separated by the pulse width
Any help to optimize this code or insight into the problem in general would be appreciated.
Best,
Alex
