Hi,

 

i am trying to control two waveplates from a Labview program. I am using the Torlabs MG17 Motor Controlled package but I am having a problem. One of the waveplates is well detected by the Motor Controller (I can see that the Stage is the correct one in the APT User software) but the other one detects another hardware, an Actuator. How can I change the stage from Z606B (actuator) to the waplate one (PRM1)?

 

Thanks in advancee

Hi Llande,

 

I'm afraid that I'm not entirely sure what the issue is, do you have a screeshot of the problem? And just so that I can better understand the problem, can you describe the entire setup including all of the software and hardware you're using? The first thing I would do is to see how the device appears in MAX.

 

Also, a quick search led me to this, I thought I'd make you aware of it since you may find it helpful: http://forums.ni.com/t5/Motion-Control-and-Motor-Drives/MG17-Motor-Help/td-p/2790684
