building block diagram to control stepper motor

Hello,

 

I am a senior mechanical engineering student and a specific part of my final project involves controlling the motion of a stepper motor in labview. The idea is that we will enter the value of a certain parameter to the software and the control system will dictate how many steps the motor should rotate in order to move a power screw mechanism to a desired position. Since we have not much experience on this subject, we are looking for guidelines or tutorials related to driving stepper motor in labview, specifically. Can anyone suggest a step-by-step tutorial which we can benefit to build the relevant block diagram in a short time? Our stepper motor is NEMA 17.

 

Thanks.
