Virtual
Instruments for the LabVIEW® Environment
The
Automation 3200 32-axis motion controller includes
integrated
LabVIEW® VIs and LabVIEW® example code for
LabVIEW®
powerful
motion capabilities in the Windows®
environment.
The LabVIEW® multi-axis HMI front panel
easily
integrates into your application. Our user-friendly VI
library
includes tools and examples for initializing the
A3200,
executing simple or complex move functions, status
checking,
error checking, and fault handling. Now
programmers
have a toolbox of advanced
LabVIEW®
motion
VIs for rapid prototype work with no need to know
C,
Visual Basic® , or other software packages.

to control and communicate with the A3200 motion
controller.
These VIs can be used as building blocks or as

LabVIEW®
Aerotech’s
VIs conform to National Instruments LabVIEW®
programming
standards. LabVIEW® library files (.llb) are
used
to create a higher level ‘directory’ structure. Each
library
file contains VIs that are grouped according to
functionality.
For example, the motion.llb library file
contains
VIs that perform axis and/or vector moves, while
the
initialization.llb library file contains VIs that initialize
the
A3200. Each VI is simple and intuitive to use.
