softmark controller

I have a softmark usb controller that is supposedly compatable with labview. Any help on interfacing with activex would be greatly appreciated as I am a complete (idiot - newbie) to Labview. Here is what I have so far.

Hey Satmandoo,

 

We have a few examples with ActiveX, but they are all controlling software that everybody has (Internet Explorer, Excel, etc) you can find those in the Example Finder by searching for Active X. The example finder can be opened from LabVIEW from Help>>Find Examples.

 

As far as your particular application, you might find some more luck in the LabVIEW forums. Our motion forums normallydeal with OUR hardware where people know the specific functions and specs, but your USB controller is going to be unique to most people here. Basically with third-party softwar, we don't know exactly what function calls and methods you need. You shoudl have been provided with either documentation or example code (normally in C) that will tell you how to set up your program. You can basically mimic your C code with LabVIEW from there.
