Incremental Encoder Angular Position Issue

[FaithPowell]

Hello,

Currently, the angular position output we are receiving is not matching up with what we expected. I have tried two different codes, one using the DAQ functions manually and the other using the DAQ assistant, the former is showing an output, but not the expected output, and the latter doesn't give any output whatsoever. The file of both codes are attached.

You need to provide more info in this.

- What encoder are you using?

- What did you see?

- What did you expect?

- How are you connected to the DAQ device (what channels?

- How is your system powered?

- Are you seeing any response from your system?

[FaithPowell]

Encoder- ERCKI Series Single Turn Hall Effect (incremental) 5 wire
What we saw- a square wave ranging from 0 to -0.09 (also attaching it below)

What we expect- two square waves, and the angular position outputted in degrees

Powered- 5 V through myDAQ (SCB 68A)

Any response- yes, show below

- Did you get the TTL or the open collector version?

- If you got the open collector version did you get the 5VDC version or the 9-30VDC version?

What channels did you connect to on your DAQ system?

[FaithPowell]

We got the TTL 5V

Source A is connected to PFI8 a.k.a pin 37

Source B is connected to PFI10 a.k.a pin 45

We aren't using Z

Still using LV2018, it is impossible for me to open your VIs. I suggest two actions:

1. Check the encoder signals with an oscilloscope.
2. Make a test with Counter - Read Encoder.vi found in the LV examples (LV menu >> Help >> Find Examples... >> Hardware Input and Output >> DAQmx >> Counter Input).
