Re: VI - Get Encoder Rate in Engineering Units
Hmm, that's interesting. My experience has shown that the Rate output of the Get VI does in fact output Hz and not engineering units. At least, it certainly seems to always output integer values, not the decimal values I would expect from a measurement in inches or feet per second.

But looking at the code, it certainly does seem to be multiplying by DistancePerCount...I'm confused.
