Virtual stepper motor

Hello, I'm trying to write code to control two stepper motors, both have driver boards. The issue is that I need to write the code without having access to the motors or the drivers. I'm very new to lab view by the way. What would be nice is if there was a virtual stepper motor in labview so that I could get the code running most of the way until I connect it to the motor and see what needs to be done troubleshooting wise.

 

Is there a virtual stepper motor? I have searched but haven't found it.

No.

 

What you can do is put whatever subVI's execute the stepper mode into a diagram disable structure.  When you are ready to add the motors, you can enable the disabled case.  Ultimately, when everything's work, you'd just remove the diagram disable structure altogether.
