Instrument control, MAX , Programming Codes for DC Motors

[Anshulkashyap-UIET]

I am stuck on this problem since weeks...

I am a novice in labview and i am stuck on this problem since the past one week..

The main motive of mine is to try and control a motor( i have tried 2 different instruments - (Spectra-Quest Induction Motor using a SMVector Cycloconvertor and a LJ Create DC Motor Control) - both the instruments run perfectly fine with their own software. I have faced multiple problems in this regard...

I have labview 2010 

Problem 1). In my own Laptop the MAX is showing the error with info code 'MAXStoppedServiceError'

Problem 2) the first device is being read by MAX but i am not sure how and what commands to send to control them( tried it on some other computer where the MAX is working)

Problem 3) the next Device i tried my hands on 'LJ Create Ánalogous Motor Control' the drivers given with the instrument are also installed and works completely fine with their software, but MAX does not detect the instrument - It uses the USB to Parallel Adapter => CLIO interface module=> Motor

I basically want to learn how to control motors and other devices using labview, if you have any study material or anything would also work fine 

Thanx in advance,

Hoping for a quick and positive response

MAX is not supposed to detect your instruments. If the connection is the parallel port, then all MAX should do is detect that. MAX is a utility for NI hardware - not for third-party stuff. Just like serial instruments, it's impossible to have a generic query of the parallel port, anyway. This is not a LabVIEW problem at all.

If you need the programming commands, you need to contact the vendor. The vendor will also have to provide details on any api they might have (i.e. dll, ActiveX, etc).

and any solution to the 'MAXStoppedServiceError' ?
