NI motion controllers allow you to access the onboard RAM and FLASH
to create data buffers and use some general-purpose onboard variables for
data manipulation. You can use this memory to update data that is loaded
by functions that are executing in an onboard program. You also can
synchronize execution or data between the host computer and the motion
controller. For example, you may want to update the velocity of an axis
based on the analog voltage read from an ADC channel. This memory is
statically allocated.
