The Engin X Sample Stack is controlled through IBEX but underneath IBEX link back into labview VIs from SECI hence why there are some special steps you need to use when looking at it. If you can't find the answer you are looking for in this page there is more information in the developer wiki but beware this is quite low level.

Define a Motor Position on the Engin-X Sample Stack

  • Using a file explorer, go to the following location on ndxenginx: C:\Labview Modules\Drivers\Galil DMC2280
  • Double click on the file Galil – System Functions.llb
  • Double click on the file in the top section called “Galil – Table of motor details.vi”. The following LabVIEW vi will appear – but populated with the motors for ENGINX
  • IMPORTANT: Select the correct motor on the left hand side.
  • Select the tab called Tools.
  • Select “Enable”
  • Enter the new position in “Define Motor Position”.
  • Enter the new position in “Define Encoder Position”
  • Click the two “Apply” buttons next to these controls
  • Minimise the vi (DO NOT STOP the VI). IBEX uses this in the background to perform the motion control for the sample stack.
