Step 6: Enable and Test the Drive using LabVIEW

Use the Interactive Test Panel to test and debug your motion system and configuration settings
on the selected axis. With the Interactive Test Panel you can perform a simple straight-line
move, monitor feedback position and position error information, I/O and move status
information, change move constraints, get information about software errors and faults,
and view position or velocity plots of the move.
Caution
revolutions as described in the preceeding step. If the motor is already connected to
a mechanical system, ensure that moving the motor shaft for 10 revolutions at
1 revolution per second will not damage any components.
