Can NI motion controllers read G-code

[Mr.Flinstone]

I am investigating whether Labview and Ni motion cards would be a suitable platform to develope a CNC cutter. Can Labview read in G-code from a Milling/CAD post processor package. If so, is there examples somewhere?

Mr. Flinstone,

It is possible to do this, however, we currently, do not have any examples that we can send. If you are interested in using LabVIEW for your application, please e-mail us more details of your application from ni.com/ask, and we will be glad to give you more information.
