Lab Title: Open-Loop Analog Control

In this laboratory, students write a NI LabVIEW program to drive a DC motor using an analog voltage signal. They also learn how to measure and view both angular velocity and angular position feedback signals from the motor. The DC motor is part of the MS15 DC Motor Control Module. They can control the angular velocity of the motor using either an analog voltage signal or a pulse-width modulated (PWM) digital signal. This laboratory uses only analog signals.
