PCI-7344 motion controller encoder reset problem

I'm using a PCI-7344 motion controller for my application. I'm currently working on simple display of position and velocity using an encoder. I am able to read the encoder pulser, but I am unable to reset it. I want the encoder pulses to be display continously till I press a reset button on the screen. After pressing the reset button on the front panel, the encoder count should become zero and start counting again till I press stop button. Kindly give me a simple example of encoder reset using push button. Thanks.

This should do what you are looking for.  I am not at the computer that has a motion controller card in it, so I have not tested it. 

It resets the encoders for Axis 1 and Axis 2.  Unless you have a different configuration for encoders and axes, it should work.

Hope that this helps,

Bob
