initialize PCI 7350 via auto start

[Endeavour-1770]

Hi,

I've got an PCI 7352 Card connected to an MID 7602 Drive. The problem i wanted to solve is the following:

...after a system start, I wanted my stepper motor to run to some offset position using the onboard-programming and auto-start-enable vi's for the Motion Card , but every time i have a power cycle on my pc i'll have to do it all manually again via MAX...looking into MAX after such a power cycle tells me that the Card hasn't been initialized...is there a way to initialize the motion card with the onboard programming features just directly at the beginning of the system start (power cycle) without using MAX or a Labview program? Writing the Initialization vi into the Flash will cause me an error message -89506.

using:

WindowsXP

LabView 8.2.1

NI-Motion 7.5

The Initialize Controller.flx vi reads the motion settings from MAX and downloads them to the motion control board. This function is only available on the host PC and can't be downloaded to the board.

Please refer to this document in the NI knowledgbase for instructions how to do an onboard initialization. Don't forget to use Clear Power Up Status.flx in your onboard program.
