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

David, Here are some suggestions. 1. For triggering an analog input on every 10th pulse, here is what you could do. You could use a counter of the PCI-MIO-16E-1 to generate a pulse train and use the encoder's signal as the source. You could use the 'Generate Pulse Train (DAQ-STC) VI' and set
