Kit opto encoder resolution?
What is the resolution (in pulses per turn) of the KOP's optical encoders? I need to find out the scaling value to plug into the open VI for the encoders in LabView.

The datasheet says "400-1440" ticks per rotation. This is obviously not helpful. Also, I assume you don't have to specify the quadrature decoding type, right (1x, 2x, or 4x?) I would assume it gets that right without modification.

Thank you for any help.
