Move motor and make a measurement (thorlabs motors and drivers)

Question

Hi everybody, 
I was just born in this Labview  world and I´m quite lost. I´ll explain my situation: 
I have three motors from thorlabs (T-cube Stepper Motor controller) in three directions (x, y and z). What I need is to move the motors from initial position until final position in small steps in order to make measurements in every stop (this is other story). So, the thing is I need to measure one line in x stopping wherever I need, then come back to the initial point, go one line down in y axis and start the line in x again (as many times as neccesary). I think a state machine is what I need for this purpose, but I have no idea. 
Could anyone help me with this??
NOTE: the computer is an old xp without internet conection and there is no possibility to install labview packages as NI-DAQmx so I must use the motors nodes and properties that Thorlabs provides. 
Thank you very much!!!

Times to wait BEFORE a measurement is started is something you have to do manually since it's up to the user.
As far as how long to wait for the measurement to complete, the manual has examples of using registers and buffers to find out when the measurement is complete using a linear sweep (this is how I do it).  The idea is to pre-set the buffer equal to the number of datapoints (say 100 over your IV range), instruct what to measure (current, voltage, both), and poll the registers to find out when the buffer is full (say every 100-500 ms).  Let the keithley 2400 set the voltages for you over the specified range and return the data set when completed.
As far as knowing when the movement is complete, you'll have to see if there is a way to detect that with your equipment (otherwise stick with the pre-programed delay).  IF these are illuminated IV measurements, you could do the following.  Source ZERO volts and measure current.  check periodically after the movement commands are sent.  Once you measure a current, the Jsc for the cell, you have contact.
For data storage, use shift registers on the state machine itself.  Clear the register when starting a scan, and insert each measurement as it is taken (2D array, or array of clusters).  Another possibility is to use a separate while loop to save the data (a consumer) with the data being passed in a Queue and appended to file after each scan (this will help if you are concerned about failures resulting in lost data).  After each measurement, enqueue the data into a queue handled by this consumer.  (you'll need to keep track of which file to append data to).
