Unidex 100 controls questions

[ijkim]

Hi,

I am currently using UNIDEX 100 motion controller to control aerotech translational motor. The control input is through LabView. The manual for UNIDEX 100 which was written for WINDOWS 95/98 suggests using MS-DOS editor commands. I was wondering if anyone knew how to use Labview to test connection between the controller and the computer running the LabView Software, and basic control commands for LabView.

Please help!

Thank you.

Hi,

just a suggestion (maybe I'm wrong) you can send dos-commands with Labview, why don't you use this method ?

Best regards,

Hi ijkim,

The System Exec VI can be used to send Windows commands from LabVIEW. You can read about the basics of this here. To use a DOS command, make sure to include cmd /c before the command.

Does that sound like something that would work for you?
