I received a new VI, but I'm not sure how to build or organize it.

I’m planning to build a system using this VI to control the motor and perform measurements. I’ll also refer to the example VI below — could you help me structure it in a similar way?

A "new Vi" is typically an empty VI.

You received a zip file with a set of drivers and an absolutely horrible VI full of race conditions, deeply stacked sequences, disconnected terminals, tons of local variables, and event cases with extensive inner code. Do you know who wrote it? Maybe ask them.

What are the requirements for the program you are trying to write? You probably should start from scratch, maybe based on the example included with the drivers.

I received the zip file to use a rotation motor.
I would like to create a program that rotates the motor using the VIs from the zip file, detects signals with a photodetector, and records the data through a DAQ device.

However, the existing VIs are quite difficult to understand and seem overly complicated.
Could you help me simplify or rewrite the program so that even a beginner like me can understand and use it more easily?

A classic case of Localitis and Sequentitis. The original developer is clearly a text based programmer.
