Stepper Motor control, and Force vs. Displacment example vi.

[j.loot]

I am looking for example code that will be used to communicate through a serial port with a stepper motor.  The stepper motor is made by Parker.  I need this to allow for velocity, dwell time, and displacement of the motor to be controlled.

I also need the vi to be able to read two input singals, from a Load cell and LVDT (force vs. displacement).

Hi j.loot:

For serial communication you will need to either find a driver for your device on NI's Instrument Driver Network or use NI-VISA.  I have attached a basic VISA program to this post for you.

For all of your other applications I would recommend looking at the NI Example Finder.  You can get to this by going to Help->Find Examples in LabVIEW.

Regards,

Emilie S.
