how to read sensor digital input and output using labview

[qwertyyy]

hi all,

 I am currently using labview and EPOS 2 50/5 to control my humanoid robot.. I am required to use a sensor (GP1S53VJ000F) to control the limits of the movement. 

Can someone please guide me on how to activate the sensor using labview? Please help me out asap. 

This is my motor control program

If you supply it with 5V, any TTL counters to acquire it: http://sine.ni.com/np/app/main/p/bot/no/ap/daq/lang/en/pg/1/ps/30/sn/n17:daq,n6:7693,n36:14,n4:7692,...

can anyone provide me with the labview programme to test out the sensor ??

An example could be found from Help>>Find Examples>>Hardware Input and Output>>DAQmx>>Counter Measurements

but i am not required to use daq to connect to the motor and sensor.. or must i really use daq in order to read the signal ??

[KateB]

if you don't use daq, then, how are you going to acquire the signal?

must we activate our motor programme in order to use the counter measurement example because our sensor is already connected to epos2..
