The quadrature encoder uses two separate DIO channels. On each channel, there are only 2 edges per cycle (one rising and one falling).

So shouldn't the max be 153K/2 instead of 38K? Or do the two FPGA channels get tied together somehow when you configure them for quadrature decoding, so that each channel is no longer capable of 153K?
