how to use labview to control a stepper motor, to produce a number of steps each time interval?

Hi,

I'm still very new with LabView, and hoping to get some helps from this forum.

Basically, I have a stepper motor, a stepper motor driver, a data acquisition card, and LabView. I need to send a some sort of frequency pulse signals from LabView to the stepper motor, so that the motor produce a close loop of a series of different number of steps for each time interval (10ms). For example, for the first 10ms the motor rotate for 10 steps, second 10ms for 20 steps, third 10ms for 5 steps, afterward it will loop back to the first 10ms at the fourth 10ms (10 steps), and so on. Also I got the spreadsheet of the different steps required for each time interval.

Thanks,

Jerome

Hi Jerome,

Within the Example Finder (inside of the Help menu within labview) there are several example pieces of code concerned with motion control, some of which will deal specifically with stepper motors. I would encourage you to look there, and try search terms such as "motion" or "stepper".
