Sorry about the first message press post before had a chance to write it.

My question was i have a E-Series DAQ card and i wanted to know, if i am using a encoder in conjunstion with motion controller card, how can i programme in labview to know exact amount that my traverse has moved by? i.e it reads the counter of the encoder and then compares it to my value and moved my traverse gear accordingly...

In summary e.g my traverse gear has moved 200 steps in programme but in relaity due to slippage or hysterises it has moved 189 steps say... so my encoder reads this problem, as it is simply counting the number of recolutions and instruste my motion controller to move the extra amount to compensate for this.

Thanks in advance for you help

Hi

Could you give a bit more information about your set up? What motion controller have you got and what versions of sofware are you using? (LabVIEW, motion, NI-DAQ).
