Id like to be able to initialize my 7344 Motion Controller card from within Labview and not through motion and automation explorer

[mprover1]

Every time I boot my PC , I have to reinitialize my 7344 through Motion and Automation Explorer  in order for it to work. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to initialize it from within labview itself?



thanks

Use the "Clear Power Up Status" and "Initialize Controller" functions in the Motion palette.

Hi,

I am sending you a Vi for initializing the controller.The only thing you have to do is that you need to use sequence structure. In the first sequence you need to use the VI which is attached i.e 0 (default). Then the next sequence will be the program itself.

So that as soon as you run your vi the first thing done will be initialising controller using LabVIEW. Then your program will run.

Here the led in the front panel will glow green only the first time you are initializing.The next time it will be dim but no doubt your initializing will be taking place.Hope this vi solves your problem.
