LabVIEW not loading the entire GUI on front panel , for TDC001 by Thorlabs

[sandhya029]

Hello,

After inserting .NET container and selecting the controls required for the motor, LabView displays a GUI , which does not have all the features it is supposed to have. It loads an incomplete GUI. Also , even after connecting the Motor , while running the VI, it says 'Device Not Found'. 

Iam using LabView- 32 bit, Kinesis version 1.14.12 , 32 bit for 64 bit windows version. 

Iam attaching the GUI i get , and the correct one (how its supposed to be).

Can you show us the block diagram?

You should have something that looks like the code on page 13 of this PDF.  The GUI should reveal all of the hidden buttons when the program is set up correctly and running.

Here is the block diagram and the front panel

Your block diagram should work as-is.  I don't have a TDC but when I switch the control to the one I do have (KST) it (mostly) works.

Maybe your PC isn't detecting your cube is plugged in, or you have the wrong serial number?

If you run this code on your PC:

The output array from the FOR loop will tell you what it detects.  The first node there is from Thorlabs.MotionControl.FTD2xx_Net.dll.

So the motor wouldn't be detected by VI , so I replaced it with the one that I knew was most certainly working. And yes, the program ran perfectly and the GUI got displayed properly too. But it was quite strange how kinesis control could detect it , and not LabView.

Thank you so much for the help 🙂
