can you send me the gcode interpretor for the pci-7334,7344.. thanks

[felixzzkat]

i am trying to use the controller card to run a small cnc mill... i thought that this was the best card,
but now i cant seem to figure out how to interface it with any of the available cnc software.... any help is appreciated...

There is no G-Code interpreter available directly from NI but one of our Alliance Members, Design & Assembly Concepts, has developed tools to convert G-Code to LabVIEW code.
Here is the contact information.

I'm an NI Alliance member in UK.

I have written a G code interpreter in LabVIEW. It supports the following G codes...

G0..G5, G28, G29, G70, G71, G90, G91
X, Y, C, F, I, J, R
M20, M21

The G code script is converted into an array of blended moves which is executed by FlexMotion. Each move is either a LINE, DWELL, ARC or ROTARY

ABMSoft - an NI alliance member in Eastern Europe has developed a very powerful G-code interpretor for LabVIEW. Their ABMS-NC toolkit for LabVIEW also includes an offline simulation tool. They have successfully deployed many machines using this toolkit. Its available directly from ABMSoft for $995. You can contact ABMSoft at

ABMSoft appears to have disappeared. Any clues?

Hi Khalsans

ABMSoft appears to have gone out of business in the last 6 years. Sorry for the confusion, I will look into getting this removed from the NI Alliance partners pages. I am not aware of any current examples we ship that show how to do the G-Code interpretation into SoftMotion or NI-Motion. Motion Assistant does provide the ability to render moves from a CAD file. I will also check with some of our current alliance members and see if anyone else has a interpreter for sale.

If I had examples of G-code parsing on any platform, it would bootstrap me in writing my own G-code code in 'G'.

I'm making a CNC milling machine 3 axes using PCI 7344, UMI 7774 and labview 2009, can you help me create a G code interpreter and M code interpreter

Thanks a lot

I am working on a similar project. I have the basic controls working and have a program that will allow the mill to run a drill file from a printed circuit board, generated by eagle cad. Gcode is the next step.

The mill also uses the PCI-7344 card.
