Simulated Encoder with DAQmx Counter Tasks

[Tanya_V]

Overview
The example is to demonstrate the simulated output of an encoder

Description:
Using the counters of the DAQ Hardware and programmaticaly alter the configurations of them, we could basically simulate the behavior of an encoder, from the continuous manner of the pulse generation to the delay of the pulse itself

Steps to Implement or Execute Code:
To implement this example:

1. Set the value of the parameters as needed (frequency and duty cycle)
2. Run the VI
3. (Optional) Turn on the Highlight Execution to see the flow of the VI

To execute this example:

1. Install the required software.
2. Connect the DAQ hardware that supports the Counter features
3. Confirm the connection with the MAX with TestPanel
4. Open the VI and refer the Implement Steps

Requirements
Software
LabVIEW 2012 or compatible
NI-DAQmx 16.0 or compatible

Hardware
cDAQ with C series Counter Module
