Can you suggest a signal conditioning suitable for DC motor built-in encoder

1. Can you suggest a signal conditioning (SCC) that suitable for DC motor with built in encoder?

2. If there have a suitable SCC, then what model for DAQ.? Can I use PCI 6259 which I have a SCC for accelerometer.

The encoder on this motor (btw it would help A LOT if you would indicate type of motor and/or link to a datasheet) is a so-called quadrature encoder. These encoders deliver pulse trains on two channels which have a phase shift of 90 deg. With these "shifted" signals, you can also detect the direction of movement. I think there should be some NI application notes covering the properties of quadrature encoders - such as

However, these encoders usually are not used with a signal conditioning circuit but with a decoding circuitry to detect the phase shift between channels. You probably can do this by software using two digital input channels. I have absolutely NO experience with LabView but I think there should be LabView applications avaiable for detecting quadrature encoder signals.

 

These encoders usually have a third "channel" which gives just one pulse per revolution and is used to detect a reference position precisely. You have to connect this channel only in case you need this feature.

Here I attach the spec for the motor.
