Hello,
We're working with the cDAQ platform and we'd like to make 16 independent encoder measurements. We'll be in the X4 configuration, using A+B and not using Z pulses.
It seams like we can use one NI-9401 to interface with 4 encoders. My reading of the specs for the cDAQ-9178/9174/9171 indicates that each has 4 counters.
Given this information does that mean that I'd need four chassis with on 9401 to acquired 16 encoder measurements? Is it possible to configure the counters on the chassis to capture more then one encoder thereby increasing the number of encoders that can be read on one chassis?
Thanks for the help
