synchronize encoder with analog input

[lutz]

How can i synchronize position measurement from a quadratur encoder with analog input.
I use DAQ-6024E (PCMCIA) with MS7.0 and DAQmx 7.3.

Hi,

There are examples that can get you going in the right direction at C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples\DAQmx ANSI C\Synchronization

Since you are going to be using a quad encoder, you will need to synchronize your counter input with the analog input. It is important to remember that the trick to synchronization is to start the tasks at the same time, and use the same sample clock and rate.

I hope this helps. Have a Great Day!
