Owning Palette: Low Level VIs
Requires: myRIO Toolkit or roboRIO Toolkit. This topic might not match its corresponding palette in LabVIEW depending on your operating system, licensed product(s), and target.
Use the Encoder VIs to control the encoder channels on the myRIO or the roboRIO.
| Palette Object | Description |
|---|---|
| Close | Closes the reference to an encoder channel, disables the counter, and resets the counter value to zero. |
| Open | Opens a reference to an encoder channel. You must open a reference before you use an encoder channel to read and decode signals from an encoder. |
| Read | Reads the value of the encoder tick counter, the last direction of the tick counter, and whether the counter wraps around. |
| Reset | Resets the encoder tick counter to zero. |
| Start | Starts the encoder tick counter. The encoder you connect to the myRIO or the roboRIO starts to increment or decrement the tick counter values. |
| Stop | Stops the encoder tick counter. The encoder you connect to the myRIO or the roboRIO stops changing the tick counter values. |
