Labjack is awesome and simple to use
Labjack is awesome and simple to use. It is about as complicated as Arduino and other similar micro processor applications. We used the labjack 4 and the labjack 7 on a automation project for a potting vacuum chamber and a hydraulic shear and a hydraulic press. 95% of things worked well. The only issue was with getting the speed or output pulse rate to be fast enough to run the stepper motor at high speed. Controlling the labjack from a USB was just not fast enough for certain things, so we had to use an embedded script. There were many examples on their web site, so this caused only some mild pain. I would highly reccomend labjack for many typical automation projects. I was using the labjack with Keysight VEE, so no issues between the VEE and the labjack, their drivers worked as expected, no issues.
