Where can I get a Labview interface to give commands to a Panther IMS L12 controller?

We just bought a Velmex unislide motion control system with an IMS L12 Panther Controller. I would like to use Labview to give simple start, stop, and velocity commands to the controller. Does anyone have an interface for this?

Looking at the documentation available, I am not sure whether the panther can take step and direction signals or it can only take RS-232/485 commands for its programming. If the first one is the case, you can always use one of our 7334 motion controllers and the NI-Motion driver which comes with labVIEW libraries in order to achieve your motion. If the drive does not take step and direction signals but only RS-232 you can always use the labVIEW VISA functions to communicate the serial commands from your PC to the Panther. This woudl be more like making your own driver.
