This example demonstrates how to configure multiple tasks in a single NIMotion control and start the tasks simultaneously. It contains two tasks configured in the NIMotion control property pages. The Conveyor task consists of a single axis moving at a constant velocity. The XYStage task consists of two axes executing a circular arc move. Both tasks are started simultaneously when the Start method is called. A Measurement Studio Graph control graphs the position of the XYStage task. A Measurement Studio NumEdit control displays the current velocity of the Conveyor task. The XYStage task completes when the arc completes the specified travel angle. The Conveyor task completes when you click the Stop button.
