help need with knife edge beam profiler

Hi,

 

I'm new to labview and to programming in general and need help putting together a simple knife edge beam profiler.  Essentially I have a translational stage (Thorlabs MTs50/m) and a motor driver (thorlabs tdc001) and I need a VI that will produce an automated incremental motion, whilest taking measurements from a digital power meter.  I have been able to get the active x software running so that I have manual control over the translational stage but as yet I can't figure out how to program a sequence of movements.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Jack,

 

What will you be using to program the motion? Softmotion? or will you just be using Digital output?

 

Kind regards,
