I donot get any error. The stage just does not move at all.

What should be the Group Name for a particular stage.

Dear Ken,

Thanks for the vi. It is communicating with the motion controller but I am not able to move the stage with my code.

These are the errors which I am getting.

I don't think you need to login unless you enabled some security features. To configure your group and positioner names, go to the web interface. My "Front Panel" looks like this. I have groups: Group1, Group2 each with one positioner, which are named Group1.Pos and Group2.Pos respectively.

Also, when sharing error information, it is helpful to share all the error information from LabVIEW, including the code (numeric) and source (string).

Error -18 is "Positioner name doesn't exist".  So you are connecting, it's just not able to move because the positioner name you gave it is wrong.

It's almost certainly the fact that you need to use "Group1.Pos" instead of "Group1" as the input.

The other error, -123, is due to the fact that only one connection can use the administration login at once.  As mentioned, for 99% of functions you don't need to be an administrator, so just get rid of the login VIs.
