Hello,
I have set up an 'NI Motion Device' in the Measurement & Automation Explorer. I would like to read the value of 'Encoder counts per revolution' in labview.
I do not want to re-enter the value of 'Encoder counts per revolution' in my labview code; I would like to write the value once (in the Measurement and Automation explorer), and then have labview read this value.
How does labview access this value?
Regards,
Myles

After speaking with a few different applications engineers at NI (see ref#2042315), the 'NI Motion' module only supports setting the counts per revolution (not reading them). The 'NI SoftMotion' module allows for the reading of "Encoder Counts per Unit' under the softmotion property node.
