Haven't tried yet, going to try method 2 first.
( PI loop)

Wanted to make sure that the Jag would be able to handle the high encoder rate before trying it.

Cool. Thanks.

We are going to use just one output (channel A) of a 360 count per revolution encoder.
I don't think that there is a need for direction sensing on our mechanism.
