Hi Bilal61101,

Here is some documentation to help you get started with measuring multiple inputs. A search term that may be helpful for you is 'channel expansion.' You can view the inputs in NI MAX or LabVIEW; the documents below touch on both.

Here is another document that may it comes to actually taking in the frequency measurement (choose encoder on the link below).

One last document -- a lot of general questions about a device will be answered in the User's Manual.

Hope this helps. If you need further assistance, feel free to post specific questions so that the community can tackle them.
