Questions about NI 9201

[TCPIP]

I am using cRIO 9004 with one of the slots NI 9201 and NI 9411.

I get the A, B and Z signal from a Quadrature Encoder

[broken link removed 2/2/26; article no longer available]

I don't want to use the code ( Figure 6: Position Estimation) provided in the homepage to find the number of counts.

Does the slot NI 9201 or other NI slots provide the function of counting the pulse of the digital  (0 1 signal) so that I can read the number of counts directly from the analog input slot, do not need to implement the code provided.

Unlike some of our M-Series DAQ cards that you might have used, the C-Series modules do not have built in counters.  This is why you need to program this in FPGA.  The code provided in the DevZone article that you included presents the simplest way to do this.  If you do not want to write the code, we also offer bitfiles that you can immediately upload to your CompactRIO and run.  Please let me know if you have anymore questions, thank you!
