how to enable an axis without affecting the others ?

[eultof]

I use an 7340 4 axis card with MID7654 driver unit. I have to make several independant programs, using each 1 or 2 of the 4 available axis on the card. I wonder how to enable/disable a single axis without affecting the other, because the "enable axis" VI is not three states : an axis can only be enabled or disabled, but not "not affected". I didn't find any NIMotion VI to do it or to give "all axis" information.

Any idea ?

Hi,
    It is possible to check the states of the axis with the function "Read per axis status".
    It is possible to eanable and disable axis with the function "Enable axis".

    Hope it can help.

Hello,  I'm using a 7604 motor driver and I have 3 stepper motors.  I want to disable on axis momentary in my process.  I've tried to use the Enable Axes.flx but I only can disable an axis.   I need to initialize the controller with initialize controller.flx in order to get all my axis enable.  I've tried to play with the PID setting, but it didn't change anything.  Am I using the right vi?   Thank you,
