Waukegan, IL - Yaskawa Electric America, Inc. announces the development of a new driver for National Instruments' LabVIEW graphical programming environment.
This driver allows for the creation of motion profiles within LabVIEW running on a standard PC with Windows XP, which allows for simple point-to-point moves in test and measurement, lab automation, and many other applications. This driver couples the power of LabVIEW via a PCI-communication card running Mechatrolink, to Yaskawa's family of AC servo drives and motors. Now, LabVIEW can fully access the broadest range of servo products from 10W to 75kW.
