Hi,
I'm using Labview 6.1 and a PCI 6024 E-series. I have an x-y table which is controlled by two stepper motors. I have driver boards for the stepper motors so all I need Labview to do is send a clock pulse to the driver boards. I have a VI constructed that allows me to move the motors at different speeds and directions. What I want to do is move the device in a certain sequence. The device starts in the top left corner and moves horizontally until it reaches the end (indicated by a digital input going low), I then want it to move for say 2 seconds downwards. After it has moved downwards I need it to travel back towards the left until it hits the left hand side (indicated by another digital input going low), it will then move downwards again for another 2 seconds and this process will continue until the bottom is reached (indicated by yet another digital input goin low). So basically, I need a way of activating the clock output to the vertical motor for 2 seconds when a digital input is triggered. At the same time the horizontal motor needs to stop for 2 seconds. Is this possible to achieve? Any ideas are very welcome!! I have attached the program that I've constructed so far.
Cheers
