Thorlab Translation stage (LNR50SE) movement with Labview

[Azim]

Dear All,

Would you please help me to make a program in labview to control translation stage (LNR50SE). I want to control it with the help of labview. The problem is that when I want to do connet the error handling, it makes problem. Could you please advice me that can I control the translation stage movement without the error handling?

Please advice me that how I can control the translation stage with the labview. I am eagerly waiting for your kind response.

Thanks

Hello Azim

Thank you very much for getting in touch with us. Are you looking to use NI-Motion to control this device?  Which interface are you using to connect to this device?  Are you using any other NI hardware?  Are you using any toolkits with LabVIEW?

Have you had a chance to explore the examples under our NI Example Finder?  You may find exactly what you are looking for there.  You can open explain finder by either clicking on "Find Examples..." at the LabVIEW splash screen or going to the Help drop-down menu and clicking on "Find Examples..".  You may be interested in the examples underneath Toolkits & Modules and reviewing those related to motion.

Please let me know and I will be happy to assist you further.

Thanks!

Actually, I have LNR50SE  and controller. I want to control it with labVIEW. I have another EC 32 motor with Encoder, which need to control with DES 50/5 servoamplifier. I am looking for the synchronization between EC 32 motor and linear translation stage LNR50SE. I am wonder that how I can rotate EC 32 motor with Labview and synchronize with the LNR50SE. Actually, I am new in Labview. Would you pelase suggest how I can do it. Or, advice me about the requiremnet of the important factors need to be considered.

Thanks for your co-operation!

Hello Azim

Can you please tell me which controller you are using?  How are you intending to connect to these devices?  Does your controller have an RS-232/serial input or are you using an NI motion card?  Please let me know!

Hi !

Thanks!

I am using Thorlabs BSC 102 as a controller. This device has RS 232 serial port and as well as USB. LNR50SE will connect with the controller and controller will connect with the PC. Please advice me. 

Regards

Hello Azim

Thank you very much for that information.  If this product has an RS 232 interface, you can use our NI-VISA drivers to control the BSC 102.  Here is a link to the NI-VISA software.  Please download and install this software. 

NI-VISA 5.0.3 - Pocket PC 2003, Real-Time OS, Windows 7 64 bit/7 x86/Mobile 5/XP Embedded/Server 2008 R2 (64-bit)/Vista x64/Vista x86/XP/Server 2003 R2 (32-bit)

As a start, I recommend onbtain the serial commands for this product and experimenting in either Measurement and Automation Explorer with a NI-VISA Test Panel or in LabVIEW using some of our example VIs.

Please try the Basic Serial Write and Read.vi and send commands to the controller.  You can find this using our NI Example Finder and from the browse tab go to Hardware Input and Output >> Serial folders.
