6K Software - LabVIEW / MOTION TOOLBOX Products

A common misconception is that MOTION TOOLBOX - a library of LabVIEW Virtual Instruments (also called "VI"s) for icon-based programming - can be used with all Compumotor motion controllers. However, MOTION TOOLBOX is available for use with 6000 Series motion controllers only, and is incompatible with all 6K motion controllers. No version of MOTION TOOLBOX is currently planned for the 6K product line.  Note - this product is no longer offered as all 6000 family products have been discontinued.

Users of 6K Motion Controllers can still interface with Labview software, although they must create their own "VI"s to interface (the VI icons are already created in the MOTION TOOLBOX software). A list of 6K com6srver methods for interfacing with LabVIEW is available in the 6K User Addendum located on this website. Click on the Literature icon at the top of the Home page, then click on User Guides, then 6K Series Product Documentation to view and download the 6K Addendum.

We have examples of using LabView with the 6K on our website under Sample Files for the 6K. We have an example using Ethernet and RS232.
