Are there any simple LabVIEW motion program for Newport MM4006 controller

[Jack Shaw]

My system consists of a PC with a IEEE488.2 from NI that connects to 2 Newport MM4006 controllers, which, in turn control a high-precision stage.

I would like to know if you can provide me with any simple motion programs in LabVIEW. Since I am starting to learn motion programming, I would like to know if there are any existing LabVIEW VIs that allow easy inputting of the motion commands.

I am having some trouble in ordering each motion segment's commands in LabVIEW environment, so I guess some examples might help me to clarify the correct syntax and logic in LabVIEW. Right now, I am using mostly the SendCommand sub VI in the MM4006 package downloaded from National Instruments to issue the seque
nce of the commands that are supposed to be executed one after the other in order to perform a specific path. Do you know if there exists any other bette way of issuing a long sequence of the motion
commands?

Alos, can FlexMotion be used for my system? What are the requirement for usign FlexMotion in LabVIEW. Is it the best way to program a motion VI for my system?

[Jack_A.]

The FlexMotion VIs can only be used with our FlexMotion controllers, not GPIB devices. For your Newport controllers, the best thing to use is the instrument driver that you downloaded off of our website. This code was contributed to our website so we don't have any example programs to go with it. I looked on Newport's website and they mentioned that they had sample code for this controller. You might want to contact them and see what they have.

Excuse me but I would like to know if you have find a simple motion program in LabVIEW and if yes,please, could you send me this program. Thank you
