Obtain steps traversed in LabView

I am using a 7334 and two Compumotor Zeta 57-51 stepper motors connected via a MID-7602.  There are no encoders in this system.  Is there a way to continuously obtain the stepper position in LabView while the motor is in motion?
 
Thank you for the time, as I am new to LabView.

You always can use the Read Position.flx vi to read the current position of your axes. In open loop stepper mode this function will return the axis' position  derived from the number of steps that have been generated by the board.
Please refer to the shipping motion examples. Most of them use this function.
