Is it possible to generate a motion control vi from parameters entered into MAX?

In the process of familiarizing myself with LV, It was brought to my attention that it might be possible to generate a VI from parameters entered into MAX. Is this possible?

 

Right now, I am getting familiar with motion control and LV by using MAX's 1D and 2D motion controller interactive environment. I was wondering if there was a way for LV to take the parameters and selections I have made in the various fields and make a VI from it?

 

I have tried searching MAX's help, Google searching, etc. but have not found anything.......

 

Thanks

In LabVIEW you can use "Initialize Controller.flx" to load the configuration settings from MAX to the motion control board. There is no way to create vis from the Interactive window, but if you are looking for such a feature, you may want to look into the NI Motion Assistant.

NI Motion Assistant is an interactive environment for prototyping your motion control application without programming. Later you can export your motion sequence to LabVIEW.

 

If you want to test Motion Assistant, you can download an evaluation version here.
