Re: Best way to measure period between pulses? Counters and FPGA
I dont know about in Java or C++, but in labview the library already converts it into period per pulse in seconds. So if you do 1/x on that, you get pulses per period. Then you have pulses per second, and that is easy to convert to rotations per minute with just unit conversions. We used geartooth mode for this purpose and it worked perfectly.
