Using Counter of PCI-6024E with Quadrature Encoder

[TeaAndBiscuits]

My Setup:

PCI-6024E & CB-68LPR & an external quadrature encoder with (A+/B+/index) signals.

Goal:

Need to measure frequency (may be upto 2KHz) and direction based upon above.

Questions:

Q1... How do I connect PCI-6024E to encoder signals (A+/B+/index) ?

Q2....Any sample program that shows acquisition with setup similar to above  will be great start.

Quadrature Encoder being used is: Mercury2000 SS-200c

best regards

2. For example programs, have a look in the Example Finder in LabVIEW (Help -> Find Examples)
