VI - Get Encoder Rate in Engineering Units

This is a very cool robot. It doesn't look like a launcher... it looks like a lifter driving backwards. Then whammo! The ball is flying through the air. - dtengineering [more]

Re: VI - Get Encoder Rate in Engineering Units

I can verify both that it returns "distance" per second as computed from the specified distance per count, and that it always seems to be an integer value. Our "distance" is scaled to represent 60 times 1/250th of a revolution, so we get RPM directly from the rate output, and being an integer has never been an issue.
