X and Y stepper motor position coordinate read back to display

[LED47]

I'm just looking for an example somebody might know of:

I have a functional X Y axes stepper motor system.
Can read back the position.

I want to develop a program that allows the user to graphically set the position using LabVIEW.

I'm sure I could eventually reason something out but if somebody knows of a particular finished VI that would set me in the right direction.

What have you tried?

You need to define what "graphically set the position" actually means. Typically an XY stage has many more steps than the number of pixels on the monitor. You could use a 2D picture indicator where you draw a point at the current position and click a new pixel to move there, updating the point as it moves, for example.

Yes I was a little flaky there I am just getting started about what I want to do

The two-dimensional picture sounds like a possibility

Do you have a simple example that?

I did not have one, so I quickly made one.... 😄

Thank you

Yes I take a closer look at that might be exactly what I need thanks again
