USB-6211 angular position not right

Dear folks,

 

I am measuring an angular position by an quadrature encoder which have 2500 pulses per revolution and I have a USB-6211 DAQ Board and DAQmx ver. 8.3.0f3 software.

 

My problem is that in X1, X2 and X4 modes the counter is not counting right to the positive direction; it is telling that 180 degrees is only 90 degrees. Negative direction is going correctly.

 

In Two Pulse mode both directions are calculated OK but I have problems with Z-pulse which works good only in X-modes.

 

What do you think? I have changed the A and B signals together and tried an other encoder too but those did not change the results. The positive direction is always half from the real movement.

 

Best regards,

Ilkka

Please set the input terminals of A, B and Z with property nodes.
