labview and instrument driver for MID-7604

[pepperfraggle]

Hello,
I just used Motion Control to generate code for LabView. First of all, will this code run as-is? I'm thinking that Labview needs to know what instrument I am wanting it to use. MAX and Motion Control had no problem finding the instrument but Labview doesn't have it in its instrument lists. So I tried to find a driver on the instrument driver network with no luck. Before I make a request for a driver I wanted to find out how much of what I'm doing is correct. Thank you in advance.

Nichole,

You mention using "Motion Control" to generate code for LabVIEW. Can I assume that you mean "Motion Assistant"?

The code should run just fine. You probably have some sort of configuration VIs or initialization VI near the start of your code that will require a Board ID input. This Board ID is specified in MAX and is the number in parenthesis() next to the Motion Control board. You should already have the driver necessary to accomplish what you're after as it is required to run Motion Assistant. And just a note: the driver is not for the MID-7604. The MID is simply the amplifier that takes the control signals coming from your PCI or PXI controller (73xx board) and boosts them up before they get passed to the motor.

Hope this helps...
