The front panel shows the wiring for the example, this is with a two channel incremental encoder.

Incremental encoders, give a count that is equal to the resolution of the encoder, usually stated as PPR, pulses per revolution, or counts per revolution.

Review the labview code, ask questions here.

Let us know what encoder you are using, and where in the gear train it is mounted.
Do the methods in the Labview examples work the same if the encoder is connected via a Talon SRX encoder input?
My teams programmers have been struggling to get these encoders on our drive system working since the start of the season.
