The speed control would have to be done by the cRIO's program, based on feedback from the encoder.
To do closed-loop control of speed, you need a speed sensor. The OP has installed a counter for that purpose.

You can't read the encoder's value without opening a Counter
If that's what TogetherSword8 meant when he used the word "counter", then I can see how my post could be misunderstood. I will edit it for clarity.
