mach3 software and labview

[Siyabonga]

Hi

Im Siya, I want to read the x-axis value of mach3 into labview. Is it possible to do this ?

[RavensFan]

Sure.  Why not?

If you would like more assistance, please provide some information as to what you are talking about.  What is "mach3"?

[Siyabonga]

Mach3 is CNC software used to control motors (stepping in my case), a breakout board is used to interface the hardware and software. Im using a 

Mach3 USB Motion Card AKZ250 breakout board.

the project im working has has to do with motion control and data aquisition using cnc software and ni Mydaq. I have to measure the diameter and profile of an ellipsoid shaped object ( tank dish-end). The X coordinate from mach3 will give me information regarding the diameter. To measure the profile im using an IR distance sensor with Mydaq

You previously asked this question a few months back, and you indicated that thread with a solution. So what has changed? What did you actually do with the information provided to you in that thread?

I wired the cards together thus I can send sent an output signal from the breakout board to an input of Mydaq. Now I want to read a real number ( x axis position) into labview software
