LabVIEW Encoder not reliably returning Rate

You subtract the previous distance from the latest distance, and divide by the seconds in between the two measurements.

I believe there may be another workaround, and that is to only use the "even" encoders. I'd have to test it out myself to say for sure, though. I'll look into it.

At the very least, that would be a great way to validate your encoder hardware vs. the decoding.
