Re: Ultrasonic PWM instead of analog input?

Hello all,

1st year mentoring, and boy did I underestimate the time it would take for me to come up to speed on Java.

Anyway, I had the team order a MaxBotix MB7366 http://www.maxbotix.com/Ultrasonic_Sensors/MB7366.htm I speced this one as it has the Free Reading mode which will ignore nearly all other ultrasonic sensors that may be in use on the field. The sensor offers analog voltage, PWM & serial outputs. For better signal/ratio ration I want to use the PWM output, but is there an input in this year's cRIO that will take that PWM input? If not, is there a card that will work with it (preferable a mixed I/O type card so as to not buy 1 card just for 1 PWN input)?

Thanks
