Configuring Fieldpoint from Labview without using MAX

[mission_labview]

I am trying to configure my Fieldpoint hardware using Labview .I am making a dynamic application where MAX will not be used.

Kindly help me find a solution to this

You will need MAX to create the IAK file.  You cannot create this IAK file programmatically (it will be really nice to have this feature though).  Anyways, once the IAK file has been created, you do not -- ideally -- need MAX anymore.

I was coming to this board to ask pretty much this exact same question.

We're using a PWM module to drive a stepper motor, and it would be great if we could slow the frequency from within labview.  Unfortunately, from that ^, it does not sound possible.

Hello PiMaster,

You can definitely change the frequency of your PWM from within LabVIEW.  However, in order to do that, you must configure the PWM channel in MAX.  Once you have your channel(s) configured, take a look at the following example program to find out how to programmatically change your PWM frequency in LabVIEW.

Thanks a lot, I'll give that a try when I get back in the lab
