In SignalExpress you can use alarms for triggering logging on and off:

Alarms Page - LabVIEW SignalExpress Help

 

As for turning motors on and off, SignalExpress is not meant for control applications.  For controls, you should use LabVIEW either entirely or use a LabVIEW VI from SignalExpress.  To do the latter, you could use a LabVIEW VI step in SignalExpress that will execute a LabVIEW VI that does the control processing and outputting that you want.  That way you could work in the SignalExpress environment for all the data acquisition, and you would only have to use LabVIEW to program the control VI (or VIs).
