Beggining the adquisition of an analog input with an incremental encoder and sincronizing the scanning of this signal with the impulses from the encoder

[ville 767]

I have an incremental encoder (NPN)with three outputs(A,B,Z) and I would like to begin the scanning with the reference signal(Z) and I would like to take one scan sincronized with the impulses.
I´m using an AT-MIO-16E-10.
Thank you for your answers!

Ville,

For this application, you will want to use the Z output as the analog input start trigger and either the A or B output as the analog input scan clock. The example Cont Acq&Graph ExtScanClk D-Trig.vi demonstrates how to implement both a digital start trigger and an external scan clock. This example is available from the following location:

Good luck with your application.
