Hey everybody,
actually I working at a problem with an absolute position encoder from renishaw.
First my hardware:
NI PXI 1701 with NI PXIe-6341
Sensor: Renishaw RESOLUTE with BiSS (https://www.renishaw.de/de/resolute-messsysteme--37823)
I am not so sure how I can connect the sensor in LabVIEW and read the BiSS protocol from the sensor in LabVIEW. Maybe some of you have a solution?
Kind regards

This will not be easily achieved through your hardware.
Resolute BiSS is a serial communications protocol, which will either need implementing through custom code on an FPGA or through a third party module. SEA Datentechnik GmbH make a nice C series module for BiSS on cRIO which will work with Resolute, but I don't think they've looked at developing a PXI version.
The 6341 is a multifunction IO card, so is unsuitable for this.
