Note
AKM series servo motors available from NI contain built-in feedback and
come pre-wired for use with the AKD servo drive. National Instruments recommends
using one of these motors for the best user experience and system performance.
Software
Note
The following are the required software for the NI 9514 module. Depending
on the Real Time controller and other C Series module being used, a newer version
of software maybe needed. NI recommends to use the latest available softwares.
