Encoder with Digital I/O

We need some help here of reading encoder value from PXI 6527 Digital I/O. Our encoder is of 5000ppr i.e 5000 pulse per revolution.This pulse input
we are giving to our digital I/O. Plz help us to solve this speed detection problem. What's the input pulse rate for 6527. Thanks,

The 6527 doesn't have an input pulse rate. All reads and writes are in response to function calls, i.e., static timing. Your software will have to poll the data fast enough to determine when it changes state. This will depend on your rotation speed.
What you really need for this application are counters, not a digital board. NI makes the 6602 counter timer board which will work fine.
