Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

The PC-STEP-4CX belongs to National Instruments' ValueMotion motion-control family. An NI-published application report identifies this exact model as the controller for the XY-positioning stage of an optical micrometer.

In that implementation, LabVIEW and the ValueMotion VI library provided motion programming alongside separate image-acquisition and DAQ hardware. This is evidence of a historical system implementation, not confirmation of compatibility with current software releases.
