Re: High Speed Encoder Problem

The periodic rate can be controlled either by a fixed value or follow the driver station. If it is set to follow the driver station, which is the default, then the period time will vary because of being a windows app. If you set the period to a specific value the cRIO will maintain a very precise periodic rate. This could also be a source of your problem.
