My DAQ and absolute encoder

i wanna read absolute encoder 12bit pepperl-fuchs by My DaQ, but i don't see clock signal from encoder on oscilloscope NI ELVISmx. I connect wire data+ with port AO of board MyDaQ. My encoder was die or My way was wrong?????..Please help me

Hi theAntu:

 

     I would check some more basic stuff with the myDAQ before considering that something is wrong with it. 

 

     I would open NI MAX and try to read some known signals (like for instance using a function generator) or just reading noise and confirming that this is successful.

422 is serial communication (just as USB, ethernet). When used in LabVIEW (where I have more experience) that requires the driver NI VISA. You can then perform either basic queries in NI MAX or code in LabVIEW with the VISA functions.
