Vex Motor in Labview?

I have looked through the examples and searched online on how to control a vex motor, and cannot find anything. The Open Motor VI doesn't give an option of a vex motor, but the kit came with a small cord called a "vex motor controller" that has to be used in interfacing/controlling it. I cannot find where to plug it into the side car, and I assumed there would be a prebuilt of some type to control a vex motor, it seem like I'm missing something. Is there a plugin/update that needs to be downloaded? Thanks in advance for any help!

Re: Vex Motor in Labview?

The Vex motor controller 3-wire side plugs into a PWM output on the Digital Sidecar.
I think it also needs to have a power jumper on the Digital Sidecar PWM like a servo would.

The 2-wire side plugs into the Vex motor.

In code treat the PWM output like a Victor.
