RPM control system

You don't have to use the encoder - just wire up the inductive sensor to a DIO input, and have LabVIEW pretend it is an encoder. The encoder VI will generate a speed for you (degrees/second), but you will likely have to scale it to get the correct RPM. Once again, this is just an alternative to using the Counter method.

LabVIEW must be different from Java:

You do need to provide a DIO number for both Channel A and Channel B, but I just entered in the same channel for both. It worked out fine.
