How can i move Zaber T-LS stage(x-direction only) with a step increment of x microns on both directions.

[Opto-electronics]

Dear friends:

I need to move Zaber T-LS stage with step increments say 'x' micros on both directions (forward and backward).

Further, i am using one stage (1D stage).

Please help

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry about using Zaber's stages. There is a LabVIEW instrument driver available and documented here: http://www.zaber.com/wiki/Software/Binary_Labview_Driver. There are examples included in the Instrument Driver as well. I've attached another simple example for the T-LS showing how you can use the driver. With the attached example, you just need to select the COM port the stage is attached to, enter the distance in micrometers you would like to move (enter a negative number to move backwards), and run the VI. 

Please let me know if this helps, or if there is a different example I could assist with. 

Best,
