Axis Configuration Dialog Box for NI 9512 Modules
Note
The
Axis Configuration
dialog box user interface may not match this image
exactly depending on which version of the LabVIEW NI SoftMotion Module you are
using.
Complete the following steps to configure the axis.
1.
Right-click the axis in the
Project Explorer
window and select
Properties
from the
shortcut menu to open the
Axis Configuration
dialog box.
2.
On the
General Settings
page (
), confirm that
Loop Mode
is set to
Open-Loop
. Axes
configured in open-loop mode produce step outputs but do not require feedback from the
motor to verify position.
3.
Also on the
General Settings
page, confirm that the
Axis Enabled
and
Enable Drive on
Transition to Active Mode
checkboxes contain checkmarks. These selections configure
the axes to automatically activate when the NI Scan Engine switches to Active mode.
Note
Disable these options to prevent axes from automatically activating when the
NI Scan Engine switches to Active mode.
4.
Click the
Stepper
button (
) and confirm that the Stepper Output settings match the
following:
•
Output Mode
—Step/Direction
•
Output Type
—Single-Ended
•
Active State
