Picomotor remote control interface

In order to speed up the remote control of picomotors that are largely used for the beam aligment, I wrote a custum vi which avoid to inserting each time command lines to select drivers, motors, velocity and steps (pic 1).  The vi (picocontrol.vi) is in a dedicated labview project (C:Digital/picomotor_control.lvproj)

We remark that BS yaw picomotor still doesn't work.

The final configuration for the picomotors control is 

CONTROLLER 133.40.121.13

  1. PITCH BS
  2. YAW BS
  3. empty

A2

  1. PITCH INPUT
  2. YAW INPUT
