Parameters

counter

Type: SystemString
The name of the counter to use to create virtual channels.

nameToAssignChannel

Type: SystemString
The name(s) to assign to the created virtual channel(s). If you do not specify a name, NI-DAQmx uses the physical channel name as the virtual channel name. If you specify your own names for nameToAssignChannel, use the names when you refer to these channels in other NI-DAQmx functions. If you create multiple virtual channels with one call to this function, specify a list of names separated by commas. If you provide fewer names than the number of virtual channels you create, NI-DAQmx automatically assigns names to the virtual channels.

minimumValue

Type: SystemDouble
The minimum value, in units, that you expect to measure.

maximumValue

Type: SystemDouble
The maximum value, in units, that you expect to measure.

pulsesPerRevolution

Type: SystemUInt32
The number of pulses the encoder generates per revolution. This value is the number of pulses on either signal A or signal B, not the total number of pulses on both signal A and signal B.

decodingType

Type: NationalInstruments.DAQmxCIVelocityEncoderType
Specifies how to count and interpret the pulses that the encoder generates on signal A and signal B.

units

Type: NationalInstruments.DAQmxCIVelocityAngularEncoderUnits
Specifies in which unit to return velocity measurements from the channel.

Return Value
