Z scan

[JKee]

Hi , I'm fairly new to labview. I'm building a z scan spectrometer using a linear stage from thorlabs operating using kinesis software. I'm using a NI Daq 6000 to acquire a voltage reading from 3 detectors.I basically have the program written I just need to find a way of linking the 2 operations together (stage movement and data acquisition). I want the NI Daq to take a reading and save it and then for the stage to step , take reading and so on. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have attached screenshots of the block diagram I have so far.

Hi JKee,

put all in one loop, then use DATAFLOW to sequence all steps.

Or even better: create a state machine. You would need states like "stage move", "DAQ" and "save data"…
