Hello DAQmx users,
I have a USB 6008 and it doesn't work the way I want it to. I have done no troubleshooting or research and I refuse to give you any more information. You have 30 seconds to answer my question. i kid, i kid...:womanvery-happy:
So here is my real question:
I have a USB 6008 that we use to do simple analog output. I'm looking for a way to use the USB 6008 to also get encoder information. I know that the USB 6008 cannot read an encoder directly, but I was wondering if anyone knew of or had any ideas of external hardware that could be used inbetween the 6008 and the encoder. I think it would be something like 1) the encoder generates pulses 2) external hardware takes encoder pulses, translates them into a digital value representing the angle and outputs this digital value 3) use the digital lines on the 6008 to read in the digital angle value from the external hardware 4) I don't lose my job.
I realize that this isn't an easy, optimal, or preferred solution, but I want to look into it before being forced to replace the USB 6008 with another piece of hardware.
