The Encoder Example project in LabVIEW should tell you everything you need to know in order to connect, initialize, and read from the type of encoder provided in the Kit of Parts.

In the main LabVIEW FRC 2011 "getting started" window, click the Support tab then click the Find FRC Examples... option. You will find Encoder Example.lvproj under the Sensors subfolder of the FRC Robotics folder.
