stepper motor control - missing MG17Motor ActiveX object

[notimperial]

Hello,

I am trying to contrl Thorlabs TDC 001 using LabView 9 SP1. Whe I follow the tutorial to create an ActiveX control(http://www.thorlabs.com/images/TabImages/GuideToLabVIEWandAPT.pdf), I can't find the MG17Motor option even though I have installed Thorlabs APT.

Does aanyone kknow how to solve this?

Cheers!

I think it's a problem with registering *.ocx files in Windows 7 (64-bit). Anyone?

Hi notimperial,

Some Active X controls are specifically written for 32 bit machines. It is worth checking with Thorlabs whether you can run these on a 64 bit machines.

Have you tried it on any other machine with different specs? Did this make a difference?

Hello,
I used attached Labview code to manage stepper motor control (TDC001 Thorlabs) to translate a sample in my setup, but since some time I obtain an error constantly (attached log). This translation system still works properly with thorlabs software, it also worked with this code, therefore I am really confused why such an error occurs. I just got started with Labview and programme wasn't created by me, so maybe someone explain what is wrong.
Thank you in advance, Vasili

Hi,

Please use a new thread for this post as it is a new issue.

Thanks

I think there is a misprint in the Thor guide. It says look for MG17Motor but actually the example then shows using MGmotor.

Hello,

I have NRT 150 stepper motor and BSC203 stepper motor controller from Thorlabs. I could control the motor using ActiveX and invoking MG17Motor ActiveX. But ActiveX gives very little freedom (changing step size, halt time etc). So if any one have written a VI for this, please share with me. Thanks.
