No, it has support for analog servos, too. You can use the Servo-to-Go
card, or my parallel port
motion control board set. Either gives you a +/- 10 V analog velocity
signal to drive
analog-input servo amps, and an input for quadrature encoders. All the
servo parameters
are in the setup file, and can even be tuned while running. There is a
graphing feature that
allows you to generate plots of commanded vs. actual position, so you
can adjust parameters
to get the minimum following error.
