encoder counting and onscreen feedback *ASAP

Hey,
I am working on a project and need some help. I am using a vex wheel encoder connected to a shaft which I need to see # of revolutions and RPM on my computer. I was thinking I could do this through the real time link with the controller. I really have no idea where to start and I have a signifigant time crunch on this. Also what is the max RPM that the encoder can detect, I am planning on using it at about 450 RPM.


Thanks..

P.s. this is for 5:00 tonight (2/27) any help would be appreciated.
