Hi Fregue

 

what LV Version and HW is in use?

I have seen in your other posts you are using a  NI UMI-7774,NI PCI 7550, and Labview 2010 is this correct?

If the encoder is connected to the UMI you should be able to see the signals in MAX.

 

You can select the closed loop step

then the encoder is used to control the positon.

 

Please check if the microsteps from the motion devcive and the encoder steps per revolution are correct

Then you should able to use the encoder.

 

You can also use the MAX to check if the encoder is connected correct in the interactive tab.

 

I hope this helps.

 

best regards
Alexander
