I am using the following equipment in a single axis motion control setup.
PXI 7332, UMI 7772, P70530 Drive, NEMA 34 stepper motor, wiithout an endcoder.
I am able to operate the motor sucessfully using the Motion Assistant. I have used the generate code option but having trouble turing that into a simple VI.
Essentially I would like to create a simple VI to control the motor, and send it number of steps and direction information,
Any suggestions for a sample VI that is out there?
Thanks
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
You might try taking a look at some of the example vi's from LabVIEW's Example Finder. Go to Help » Find Examples... When that window pops ups, double-click Toolkits & Modules in the folder list, then double-click NI Motion Assistant. I'm guessing the "Straight Line Move.vi" or "Blended Move.vi" would be most helpful to you, but you could read the descriptions of each example listed for a little bit more information about what the examples are doing.
