Aerotech motion controllers

[No mercy LabVIEWer]

Hi,

I wish to know, how easy is it to configure and program the Aerotech motion controllers using labview. I've been using NI, PCI-7344 motion controller. Its very easy to configure using MAX and also easily programmable using the simple to understand VIs provided by NI. What do you suggest about aerotech? Also, do the LabVIEW VIs for Aerotech come with the package or should I have to purchase it seperately. How abt. the cost of the controller?

A)Can you described the diiferent part you had in your system in addition to the NI 7344

B) what is your motivation to move from 7344 to Aerotech motion controllers
