How to make ROD426 connected to USB-6211 work in Labview

[Gsteen]

Hello
I have a rotary encoder type Hadenhein ROD426 connected to a USB-6211 I/O modul.
I need to make this work in Labview, so i can read the position for the rotary encoder by angle. I can't find anny tools in Labview that does this.

Does annyone have anny tips?

Gsteen,

There are some examples in LabVIEW's Example Finder (Help menu -> Find Examples...) that might help.  Try Hardware Input and Output -> DAQmx -> Counter Measurements -> Position.  These examples are usually a great place to start.  I looked at "Meas Angular Position-Buffered-Finite-Ext Clk.vi" which looks like it may be of help to you.  You can also limit the example finder to only find examples that pertain to your hardware (USB-6211) by configuring the "Hardware" dropdown in the lower left-hand corner of the example finder.  If you are browsing, check the "Requirements" list in the lower right-hand to see if a particular example works with your DAQ.
