I downloeded the driver and examples for it from this websit:

http://www.newport.com/URS-Series-Precision-Rotation-Stages/303761/1033/info.aspx#tab_Literature

But they didnt work, there are some question marks appeared in the block diagram!

Can anyone know about that?

Any advise is appreciated

Hi Misk,

The question marks which appear on the block diagram indicate that you don't have the relative functions in your LabVIEW package. Depending upon the functions, the relevant toolkits can be downloaded and installed.

Hi CasiL,

Thank you for this.

I dont know how can I found VISA or code library,I will attach the error box.

Thank you very much,

You need to install NI-VISA as a search for that error would have shown you. The latest - http://www.ni.com/download/ni-visa-14.0.1/5023/en/

Have you asked Newport? It's their code and hardware. I have neither do I can't reproduce the problem. From that image, I can't even tell where the error is being generated.

Yes, I asked them ..they said that I have to home the stage before the cotroller , as I am new to labview , I dont know how to home the stage..

Can you see the attached  picture , the problem in this sub vi , I think..

Any advice is appreciated ,

Many thanks
