Using BEI Encoder as a trigger for DAQ

2004-04-20 Thread David Arthur
Hello, I have a BEI rotary encoder which I am using with a NI PCI-MIO-16E-1 DAQ card. I would like to trigger the acquisition of an analog input every 10 pulses of the BEI encoder. I would also like to display the pulse frequency as a RPM display on my front panel. I have read the document

Hello, I have a BEI encoder signal that I am sending to the DAQ board counter source pin (GPCTR0_SOURCE) which gives a frequency of 3600 pulses per revolution. I wish to trigger an analog input every 360 pulses per revolution so I am trying to use the Generate Pulse Train (DAQ-STC).vi with an
