Hallo!!!
It's possible to controll a step by step motor with LabView ?
The name of the driver is Plus L and the motor is SANYO?
exist some Labview "Pallete" dedicated to the motor controller?
Thank's

I think you are asking if it is possible to control a stepper motor with LabVIEW. The answer is Yes, and No.
LabVIEW, by itself, cannot make a stepper motor do anything. A stepper motor needs a drive circuit to generate pulses, and regulate current to the motor.
You need a stepper driver (this is hardware) first. Secondly, you need an NI motion controller board. This would be a very expensive solution if all you want to do is experiment with a stepper motor.
There are motion controllers available that take serial commands as input, so you could control the stepper motor from LabVIEW, using serial commands.
What is your application? Maybe I can suggest other alternatives.
