position control of the stepper motor using NIsoftmotion

[yaru]

Hello gys,

                    Can anyone help me how to perform a staright line move using the stepper motor?Because i am new to softmotion.....i dont know where to start this from..... My task is to just move the axis to a particular position and after few secs have to return back again to the same position...........I also dont know wat kind of softwarew and hardware are needed to perform this step......

But i am trying to do this using lab view 2009, NI softmotion module 2009, PCI card 6220, SCB 68 Connector block, stepper motor and also with its drivers....

So please hlp me where to start this project form?

Eagerly waiting for ur valuable reply .....

Thanks

Yaru

Hi, I'm not sure whether this is the right place for asking this question or not and if not, then please guide me to the right place for asking such question. Thanks.

I have a stepper motor with the Vector Network Analyzer Anritsu MS4623B. I got it up and running with the LabWindows/CVI. I need to sync the motion of the stepper motor with my data acquisition. Basically, I have to acquire the data in a way that in the start the motor will come back to home position wherever it was and then I want to move it to the specific position to do the measurements (For Example, I want to measure the 40 GHz channel between 1m to 3m movement of a stepper motor on a linear positioning system (ball-screw)). I've interfaced the VNA with the PC using LabWindows/CVI and I've controlled the clockwise and anti-clockwise movements of the stepper motor using LabWindows/CVI but I'm unable to sync the system in a way that whenever I run the code, the motor will run back to the home position and then move to a specific measurement start position and move till the end position and in between do the increment and stop and acquire the data. Is there any one to help me please? It's really urgent please and I'm doing this thing first time so please guide me in a proper way. I shall really apprecaite that and will be highly obliged with you. Thanks for your time and concern.

Thanks and Regards.
