Encoders and Motors

My team wants a robot that you press a button and a "ramp" moves so many degrees up or down. So, like a limit switch but without the absolute endpoints. I know an encoder can do that, but I never worked an Encoder before. I went through the LabVIEW examples till I created the vi below (all the proper open boxes are there). Which starts the motor, but it doesn't stop. Basically, I'm asking how to make an encoder control a motors set output.
