This page is produced as a tutorial for the theory,
design, and implementation of a virtual instrument to control a digital
stepper motor. By using the information in this page you will be
able to build a National Instruments VI (Virtual Instrument) to accurately
control a stepper motor and furthermore understand the theory associated
with it. The links below will explain the portion of the PCI-1200
that is used to generate the digital output signals, the software that
controls the motor, and the theory on how stepper motors actually work.
