Reading SSI Single-turn absolute encoder using a myRIO

[Nuwan78]

Hi

I'm trying to use a 13-bit Absolute encoder with a SSI Gray protocol using myRIO. The encoder I'm using is a 'STEGMANN' ARS60-A4A08192.

Data sheet is https://www.mysick.com/eCat.aspx?go=FinderSearch&Cat=Row&At=Fa&Cult=English&FamilyID=494&Category=Pr...

myRIO does not support SSI Gray but there are other communication protocols eg: SPI & I2C. Do I have to program the FPGA?

Since I'm a beginner, can someone direct me to find help on this topic or any example labview VI's.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks.

As far as I know, you have to customise FPGA VI to support SSI protocol.  I suggest you repost this in myRIO group. But the answer may be still the same.
