I would post a screen capture but our robot is being worked on and not operational at the moment.

It's possible that you have damaged the encoder and the signal coming from one of them is missing part of the signal. It could also be that the encoder is to far from he sensor and only partially reading it. This assumes that you are using an encoder that you build, not an enclosed unit.
If it really is digital switching noise on the wires, there are digital filters available to you in the hardware, but they are not enabled by default (since we have no idea what the frequency of your input signal should be). You can configure them with VIs in the Advanced Digital Input palette.
