Does DAQmx allow the counting of edges for multiple PFIs on same Counter?

I'm trying to get an encoder angle measurement.  I'm currently having an issue with the built in DAQmx angle measurement channel type, but simply counting edges appears to work.  I don't see a way to count the edges of multiple PFIs on the same counter though, as would be done to get an angle measurement.  The reason I want to do this is to manually convert to edge counts to an angle as I don't have much time to figure out why the native angle measurement isn't working.



I saw my father do some work on a car once as a kid and I asked him "How did you know how to do that?" He responded "I didn't, I had to figure it out."

Hi, 

 

Have you tried with a DAQmx task on NI-MAX? Under the AI input tasks there is an specific task for counter that gives you the angular position. Try setting the task on MAX to see if that is what you are looking for. 

 

Regards.
