Hello all!! I am trying to control the XPS Q8 linear translation stage (300mm) through labview 11. I constructed a VI which communicates my translation stage and moves according to target position which I set. For your reference I have attached my VI. Present VI runs the translation stage towards the target position continuosly. Once it reaches the target position, the program will end. Now I need to modify my VI such that stage should moves towards the target position with some time interval instead of running continously. for example, my target position is to reach 100 mm and I need to stop the stage at every 5 mm for 5 sec. 1 to 5mm with velocity 1 mm/s and stay at 5mm for 5 sec,Again 5 to 10 mm with velocity 1 mm/s and stay at 10 mm for 5 sec.Again 10 to 15 mm with velocity 1mm /s and saty at 15mm for 5 sec.......like this. could you please help to modify my VI.

Sir i tried. I got the need. I didnot use get status. Instead i used wait(ms) in the while loop. Thank you very much for your suggestions. I used relative move inside the while loop. I will contact you when i need further clarifications.
