Please post a screenshot of LabVIEW's help file for CounterGet.


I just checked Team 358's excellent LabVIEW examples web pages, and it looks like CounterGet returns the period (seconds/count). So yes, that appears to be using the FPGA to measure the elapsed time between counts.

It is similar to how we currently do it, and it seems to work well for high speeds.
How exactly do you do it? And are you using a one-per-rev counter? And how high is "high speed".
