Hi,
I am newish to labview and have construct a VI that lets me output an analog signal based on a condition of an incremental encoder. The issue is that the entire process is too slow, I am trying to track the angular position of an engine and output the signal for the ignition module.
My idea is that I would hook up the encoder as usual (three channel A,B,Z) then using another counter I would use the A pulses to monitor the position for the ignition module. Since counters only count incrementally I would require that on the Nth pulse I could output a signal if theres 1000 pulses per revolution then at pulse 500, 1500, 2500, 3500, etc...I would need to output the signal. Now how do I set this up with out communicating with the PC? Somehow i need to tell the DAQ that on channel PFI0 at pulses corresponding to 500, 1500, 2500, 3500, up to 100500 or more I would need to ouput without the process going through the USB lines to the PC.
If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated. If you need any other details I will post them as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Nick
p.s. I attached the VI I talked about in the beginning of this post.
