Labview Help for Tensile/Compression Test Setup

[Kindly-Wisher]

Hi guys, i am a master student in mechanical engineering, i had never setup any electronic devices before, please help 😞

i am building a single axis compression-tensile test setup, this setup consists of  NI USB-6343 X Series Data Acquisition, transducer techniques load cell(GSO series), transduces tech. signal conditioner(tmo-2), Newport linear stage(motor) and SMC 100 motor driver,

With the ability of this setup, i will drive the linear motor and make compression/tensile loads on loadcell and i will read the loadcell's output values, and also according to these values, i will continue to drive the linear stage or not ! 

As a summary: i need to control the Newport SMC100(motion driver) via labview , and also i need to comminucate this motion driver with the loadcell's output results via labview,

Do anyone have an "exact example setup" in LabView ? how can i do this with labview? from where should i start? What should i do? Any suggestions? 

I have only 20 days to do this 😞

Sincerely,

Best Regards..

I see that you have received some good responses to your other posts. I found the SMC100 LabVIEW drivers on the following ftp site:

ftp://download.newport.com/MotionControl/Current/MotionControllers/SMC100/Software/

You can look around at the drivers and examples in there. Running those zipped files should get you the instrument drivers and examples integrated with LabVIEW. What version are you using?

Thank you so much Peter, i am using Labview 2009, i think your documents will help me so much. But first, i should learn how to use labview as soon as possible. I hope, it would be easy..

Best regards,
