Encoder and E-series DAQ Board

[TiffanyBierly]

Hello!

I am connecting a Quadrature Encoder to a PCI-MIO-16E-4 DAQ board.  The board is now called a PCI-6040E.  I am wondering how exactly to connect the Encoder to the DAQ board.  Direction is not necessarily that important, but it would be cool if the DAQ board could tell when the direction changed.  On the board are an out, gate and clock.  I don't know what to put where???  Please help me???

Thank you,

Tiffany Bierly
