how to read the value of the incremental encoder using PCI 7344. I want to get the number of revolutions using the encoder value

[Gops]

I am using an incremental encoder in my project. I want to read the values of the encoder, to get the number of revolution in the axis, from which iam planning to calculate the diatance travelled in the direction. Is my approach right? It is wrong can u suggest any alternative.

You should have no problem using the 7344 to read an incremental encoder. Also, you should be able to determine the number of revolutions from that encoder value. This should be the right approach.

i would like to know the flex motion vi that would read my encoder value.

i would like to know the flex motion vi that would read my encoder value.
what does the read encoder posistion vi return for the posistion value. What does the quadrature encoder value mean in flex motion?
i tried to simulate the encoder with a function genetator and get the encoder value, it get a posistion value equal to -2.
can u suggest what i am doing is right.
