Using a magnetic encoder to get speed of a motor

I believe WPILib's encoder VIs only work for the quadrature optical encoders, not the voltage-based magnetic encoders.

Edit: I guess WPILib's encoder VIs do work with the magnetic encoders. I might see if any of this helps.

For future reference, I would not recommend using a magnetic encoder to get the speed of a motor. While the readings are smooth, there aren't enough voltage changes in a second to differentiate enough between speeds.
