Overview
The example is to demonstrate about the voltage function for expressing the position of an encoder along with the time correlation

Description:
Utilizing the uses ticks with an encoder as the sample clock for the analog acquisition. With also the Z Channel of the encoder, it is used to trigger an acquisition for voltage data and the period measurements of the encoder ticks (and would eventually could be concluded for the information of the width of the pulse)

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

  1. Define the Physical Channels, Counter, Channel A and Channel Z
  2. (Optional) Set the value of the parameters as needed
  3. Run the VI
  4. (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 AI and CI 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 9.0 or compatible

Hardware
cDAQ with C series Analog Input and Counter Input Module
