Connecting RS422 Quad Encoder to NI 6602

I have 4 Quadrature Encoder that output RS422 signals that I would like to connect to the NI-6602 board. Will the differential signal levels of the RS422 match with NI-6602 counter timers inputs? Does any one have an example of the pin numbers to connect the A,!A,B,!B,Z and !Z signals to for the NI-6602 card.
Here is the PDF to the NI-6602 Counter Timer board:

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

If your "RS 422 signal" is a pulse going from 0V to 5V, then they should match with the inputs with your NI-6602. Chapter 4 of the manual found here describes how to make the necessary I/O connections for your board.

Hope this helps,

LA
