Connection to a step motor via usb

[Oleksiy_K]

Hello.

I'm using a step motor with mini usb port in it. http://www.trinamic.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=247&Itemid=359 

I have installed the usb driver from the link above. So it's visible in MAX (com 3) but I can't see it in the list of targets and in the list of connected instruments in the Instrument Driver Finder.

Can anybody help me, please? Thanks!

P.s I'm new to LabView.

Hi Oleksiy_K,

it seems the device has as interface a virtual COM port, that you can also see within the MAX.

As I interprete the situation you have to use the VISA API within LabVIEW to programm the communication with your hadware device.

I found documentation on the device's manufacturer that contain the commands...

PDx-140-42-SE / TMCM-140-42-SE TMCL™ Firmware Manual (V1.05 / 2009-OCT-21)

As far is I know you have to create the LabVIEW Interface by your own, because there is no one publicly available.
