Incompatibility or a bug in using the counter

I have a BNC 2120 DAQ. I have been trying to use one of the example VIs, namely Count Digita Events,  for counting. I am using the quadrature encoder provided in the DAQ to test it. It works fine as long as the count directions are set for 'Count Up' or 'Count Down'; however, does not work for 'Externally Controlled' , it simply goes to a large number and stays there whether I rotate the quadrature controller knob clockwise or counterclockwise. I am using LabVIEW 2009. I was wondering if it is a bug.

Howdy airydisk!

 

What DAQ device are you using with the BNC 2120?

 

Also, please describe exactly what connections you have made with you encoder to the BNC 2120.  Thanks!
