Two Counter inputs to measure speed of motor

$

Hello, 

 

I am trying to measure the speed of a motor using an optical encoder using a PCIe-6343 device. The encoder has only A,B channels with 2x360 Pulses Per Revolution. I plan to use counters to measure the rising and falling edges of both A and B signals giving me 4x resolution. I went through the example programs for counter input. Most of them require an external clock from the encoder. My encoder has no external clock. Second, they calculate duty cycle etc which is not relevant to me. Can anyone point me to examples/resources in the right direction?
