General Mach Discussion / Re: Interface between Labview and Mach3

Oops.. sorry about the multiple posts. I thought  of using labview because we already have a feedback control system based on that and I thought I could use that as a starting point for my system. I am new to all this and so I am sorry if this sounds silly. What does Cyprus enable exactly do? Will I be able to continuously monitor the current values and when it reaches the threshold move the stage down in Mach3 itself with using Labview only to get the current data from the set up?

General Mach Discussion / Interface between Labview and Mach3

Hi,
I have a CNC stage which is controlled by Mach3. I need to have a feed back control of the stage depending on the current values. If the current value becomes more than a set threshold value the stage should move down and this can be done by labview. But the problem is now the stage will be controlled by both labview and mach3 which would cause conflict. Can Mach3 get the current values from labview or any other source and do the feedback by itself? Like I can use IF loops in the CNC program depending on the value obtained? How should I proceed?
Thanks in advance,
Shiv.
