Hi zy9,

Thank you for posting to the NI forums.  For a specific device recommendation, please post back with the following information.

1.      Type of event being triggered

2.     Output range of the photo-sensor

3.     Output range of the optic encoder

Our Multifunction DAQ Devices (M Series) will probably be your best option.  These include analog and digital triggering as well as two 32-bit counters for your encoder signal. 

In addition to the M Series devices’ product pages, you can also use our DAQ product selector to find a good match for your application.  It will allow you to narrow down your search results by selecting specific functions that the device must have. 

I hope this helps!  Please post back if you have more information or any further questions.
