encoder counter

[qwerty257]

Hi All,

I need to find a way of counting the number of pulses i recieve from my encoder during 1 revolution.

i have two signals:

A - encoder output

Index1 - outputs a pulse every revolution

i think what i need to do is trigger a pulse counter using the index output and count all the pulses from output A.

I have a PCI 6133 daq card - how do i go about syncronising the two together?

Hi,

There are several examples for synchronizing DAQmx tasks.  In LabVIEW select Help»Find Examples.  Then navigate to Hardware Input and Output»DAQmx»Synchronization»Multi-Function.  Here you will find several examples for synchronizing tasks.
