Zaber rotatory device

[Ayesha.S]

Hi All,

I need to program the zaber T-RSW60A to do a 360 degree orientation through labveiw .

I can get it do move to a paticular degree but to do the same thing repeatedly is what am having difficulty with.I want to increment the angle automatically after certain amount of timeout.

any suggestions to code this appropriately are welcomed.

Hi Ayesha,

- To do things "repeatedly" you should use a loop.

- To wait a "certain amount of time" you use a Wait function in the loop.

- To increment a value you need to keep the previous value. To do so you should use shift registers!

This is all very basic LabVIEW stuff…

(Edit: no need to create double posts!)

Hi Gerd,

Thank you for your suggestion..

I have attached my vi..which does the rotation for the degrees specified and stops the loop

but after each rotation i want to increment the angle in steps of 45 automatically  and finally stop the vi after it completes 360degress.do i have to   incorporated another loop with the shift registers.. even if i do that how does the angle gets incremented.

Please advise necessary changes in the vi

Hi Ayesha,

I've attached an example where you can input the device number, the size of the step you'd like to make, and the number of milliseconds you'd like to wait each time. It will then step through 360 degrees when you run. This example uses the Zaber T Series  Instrument Driver. 

Hopefully this example is helpful. You can also contact me at mike@zaber.com for additonal Zaber specific support.
