THORLABS LTS150M Control

[yifuhuang]

I'm new to LabVIEW and I want to make a program to control a Thorlabs LTS150M Linear Motion Platform to realize a cycling motion. I don't quite understand the example provided by Thorlabs so I cannot modify it. I really hope someone could help me. Thank you!

It appears that this is a direct USB controlled instrument that does not follow the SCPI protocol.  You will need to look at the manual and determine what you want to achieve.  Write down the commands then try to send them across using the VISA Write vi and receive instrument responses with the VISA Read vi.

Before you can walk, you need to crawl.

Learn how to control the Thorlabs to make simple movements.

Then you can write VIs to "realize a cycling motion".
