Re: Inconsistent reading from encoder get rate
I should have bet you lunch. Email from NI:
Hey Randy,

We figured it out. There is a problem with the FPGA timer averaging
involving channel swapping in specific cases. We're working on correcting
this issue and getting it out ASAP. Thanks for bringing this up! You have
the right mindset that this is what engineering problems really are like!
Kudos to you and your team for isolating this issue. Have a great
afternoon!
