How to wire the encoder E4-P to the digital sidecar?

Hi everybody,

Is there a manual on how to wire the encoder E4-P and the accelerometer to the digital side care?

Or can someone give me detailed connections to get this running?

Thanks!

Check out the user guide for the E4-P here:http://www.usdigital.com/assets/general/85_e4p_datasheet_1.pdf

You will need to wire the A and B signals to two separate inputs on the digital sidecar. Wiring for the accelerometer can be found on the front panels of the Accelerometer examples (Help->Find Examples in LabVIEW)

Hey Kevin,

Thanks for the doc, however this doc gives the procedure to wire the encoder to the motor, but i am looking for the procedure to wire the encoder to the digital side car, do you know what pins should be wired to the encoder. Thank you

Hey Rorim,

I think the front panels of the examples in the LabVIEW Example finder are the best place to look for wiring to the digital side car.  This thread is the only place I have found the colors of the wires for the encoder described:http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=83700. Post back if you have questions on that.
