Re: Encoders and distance (labview)

If you're using the encoder VIs, then they should be doing 4x decoding. That is, they'll return 4 ticks for every cycle of the encoder. So if your encoder is 1024 pulses/cycles per revolution, the VI will actually read 4096 ticks per revolution. After that, it's just properly figuring how many inches you have per revolution.
