Hello,
I would like some assistance with figuring out how to connect an encoder output from a servo driver to the USB 6001. The servo driver says that the encoder outputs are labeled as A, /A, B, /B, and Z, /Z. From my understanding, these are differential digital outputs that need to be connected in pairs (so that for example, A and /A must be connected to an IO pin of their own). I'm also assuming that the Z and /Z isn't necessary, based on what I've read about how it's mainly used for precision.
Will the USB 6001 be able to accommodate this setup? The goal is to take the signal from the encoder output and process the data in LabVIEW to determine the angle/position of the motor.
Attached is the servo driver that we plan on using. It has a built in encoder capability. The outputs of the encoder are in the X1 port.
