I have a cDAQ-9174. I need to record RPM of a motor shaft using a standard pulse on/off retroreflective sensor. Am I able to access the counter/clock that's on the cDAQ without LabVIEW (my company still hasn't purchased it yet - just FlexLogger) and record it in FlexLogger as a constant RPM? Thank you.
Chassis counters are not currently supported in FlexLogger. wbifrank08 is correct that the way to access counters in FlexLogger would be to use the NI 9361 counter input module.
When your hardware arrives you can configure an Angular velocity measurement using a Frequency Counter to measure RPMs.
