Hi,
There are several VI's that are included with the motion driver for configuring your controller. They are located on the function pallete under Vision and Motion>>Ni-Motion>>Axis Configuration. Using these VI's you will be able to configure your axis. But why don't you want to use MAX? If you are new to LabVIEW I would suggest configuring and testing your motor in MAX first before you start programing. Once you have it working there you may want to look at several of the examples such as Simple One-Axis Move.vi. I hope this helps.
